Title: Sunday Sun Halo. Post by: John9929 on July 12, 2010, 12:11:57 am While imaging the new sunspot ar 1087 at lunchtime this beautie of a sun halo appeared, best I've seen in a while,so I couldn't resist an image. As the recent winds had blown down my usual sun blocker I had to find another!

I couldn't help but look hard at the sun blocker and can see a few images other than what it is - you holding a coin. It's all about perception. Title: Re: Sunday Sun Halo. Post by: John9929 on July 12, 2010, 09:59:04 pm Thanks lads!
Sorry John it's not a coin I'm afraid, think of the obvious at the time, it's easy! Title: Re: Sunday Sun Halo. Post by: martinastro on July 12, 2010, 11:21:01 pm Very nice full halo image there John - those dust caps sure come in handy for blocking the sun :)
