Looked out the front window at lunchtime today and spotted this faint sun halo complete with dogs, though the right dog was brighter than the left. Nice surprise as I didn't really expect any though the sky was very hazy.  |

Very good catch John. Is that a tail on the R dog?. Nothing like that here today.

Thanks Martin and Stevie. There was a superb UTA here today as well, one of the brightest I've seen.
