While getting ready for Sidewalk Astronomy last Friday, I was watching the 4 day old Moon cross the sky in the early afternoon. It was partly cloudy, but I noticed a slight halo around the Sun. It was faint at first, but grew more noticeable over the next hour or so.
The first picture I took. Faint, but definitely there if you look close enough.
A little while later.
Probably the best picture I took.
Another good one, the last one.
I don't have a time stamp on my camera yet, and I didn't rush to save the pics right away, and in the mean time, I have forgotten what time I observed this, other that it was in the 2-3 PM CDST range.
I've been noticing Sun dogs/halos quite a bit this winter (this was the third time). Am I just getting lucky, or should I listen to Joe and quit staring at the Sun???
