Bright 22* Moon Halo! was created by martinastro
A stunning bright 22* Halo is currently visible as a complete 360* red and blue band 4* thick around the waxing Gibbous Moon high in the south! Took a selection of images at ISO400 15 sec exp...
The moon also sported a nice Corona. I had the 8" S.Cass out and using 49X i observed the Moon, Mars, Delta Cephei, Mu Cephei, Mirach, Almach, Polaris, M31, M32, M39, Gamma Arietis. This is my first offical observing sesion from my new home and the halo made it a perfect opening act!
Clear skies

Tip for ya - make hay while the sun shines
Try and plant some relatively high growing evergreen trees now where the streetlights are going to shine in on your backgarden, you'll want to keep the backgarden as dark as possible, I've done it - am sure glad I did
It's worth you're while
