Details:
The sun never rose very high above the Bromont ski hill, and the snow cannons were on at full blast. All day long we saw bits of halos, sometimes very bright and colorful! That afternoon we spotted parhelia, a partial 22 degree halo, a CZA, and a supralateral arc. There are however two arcs I don't recognize:
1. In the 1st picture, the arc between the parhelion and the very colorful supralateral - is it a far-reaching upper tangent arc?
2. In the 1st and 2nd pictures, the parhelia have two arcs pointing up from them. I also wonder which arc going through the parhelia is the 22 degree halo, as the brightest arc seems to have a dip.
Unfortunately I couldn't calculate the solar elevation because I don't remember the time each picture was taken (sometime in the mid-afternoon) and the camera time setting was wrong. Nonetheless it was a memorable halo day!
