Ewen Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Anyone else see the sun dog tonight ? Shame I didnt have a camera, it was rather spectacular...never seen one in real life, only pictures until now. Magical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Was it a good one?....Like this? http://images.aad.gov.au/img.py/198d.jpg If so, you're a lucky sod, I love phenomena like this. I've seen two moon halos before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sun dog on the other hand is amazing. Almost like natural lens flare. Incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BazzaAlpine Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Seen the moon ones a couple of times but never never the sun could do something similar. Cool. Wish I'd seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 enlighten mate ! Sorry Peter, left the thread to eat...I think it was supposed to be bolognese. Was it a good one?....Like this ? No, not as good as those...it had the two sides and a little bit on top but not a complete circle. Vivid colours though, rainbow like. My daughter saw it too, a little clearer from a few miles away from where I was, she has a picture too which I'll nab when shes round next.
