I spent a wonderful few hours hunting for moonbows tonight, conditions looked great with a waxing gibbous moon two days from full and a clear sky with regular passing showers in an unstable NWly flow. By good fortune the low ecliptic angle at this time of year meant the moon was below the required 42 degrees in altitude for moonbow formation. A friend and I ended up observing 9 different moonbows within a few hours, many of them where complete with blue, yellow and red colours visible to the unaided eye, the camera even detected a segment of fainter secondary moonbow, it was a great night despite getting soaked. In fact, some of the moonlit convective clouds even talk centre stage for a while too.
Canon 600D 10mm F/2.8 lens 15 secs at ISO800
