jaques Posted April 2, 2010 Share #1 Posted April 2, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I walked out into the yard yesterday and looked at the sky- only to see the most incredible ring around the sun. My instant reaction was awe... I ran for the m9 and slapped on the VC15mm. The phenomenon only lasted 20 minutes, and was difficult to look at let alone photograph. Having read up I now know it may not be a cosmic omen- but simply a matter of ice crystals in the upper atmosphere: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattsy Posted April 2, 2010 Share #2 Posted April 2, 2010 I think it has something to do with ice crystals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
