Nice shots guy's, here's one of my images from last night. The halo was one of the best I have seen in a long time, thanks for the heads-up Martin otherwise I might have missed it. I don't usually see much colour on these moon haloes, but last night it was very noticable especially at the bottom. Gemini can be seen inside the halo. This image is untouched except for resizing.

It cleared for a while after this and then while talking to Martin on the phone I looked outside and saw this most beautiful corona caused by the thinest of clouds which I could still see the stars of Gemini through. I rushed to try and capture it before it was gone. The colours were something else. Image untouched except for resizing.
