Moon Halo 17-07-08

Captured this last night just after midnight.

I was able to watch the Halo slowly form around the Moon then disappear all in under 30 minutes. Amazing! I was able to sit outside for a couple of minutes admiring it and this time Jupiter was inside the Halo.

Here is an image of the bottom part of the Halo with the main stars of Scorpius and Alpha & Beta Centauri. Just to name a few.

Enjoy.

P.S. I might post a couple more depending on how they look.

There was one last week as well, wonderful sight but the explanation makes it a bit boring. Nice shot
