Thanks very much Andy and Paul for the compliments!!  Smiley.

Bows caused by weak moonlight tend to look white or grey but when seen with a bright moon phase the colours are obvious. The colours observed over the last two nights were striking. The second night was exceptional with bright red, yellow-white, and blue bands all visible with the naked eye. There was a faint secondary moonbow to.
