Details:

Yesterday we had excellent halo conditions here over Östersund, Sweden. During the day I took a photo of the 22° solar halo. And later that night, 10 hours later, when the Moon was in the same position in the sky, I took another shot from the same location, showing a 22° Moon halo. Here are the two images merged together and I also included the two separate shots. The sun halo was shot on April 1st at 10:21 (UTC standard time) and the Moon halo 10 hours later at 20:30 (UTC standard time).

Thanks for all you comments. This turned out to be a very special day and Ive come to the conclusion that this will probable be my one and only shot of this kind. The chances that the all circumstances are correct one more time is probably very close to zero :-)
