Details:
A very very rare phenomenon called "Moon Dog" lights up the dark cloudy skies of Nasugbu. These are the two rare bright circular spots with comet like tails on each side of a 22 deg lunar halo. Captured at Punta Fuego beach club using a Mate 20 Pro in wide field long exposure mode. The earphone was used as a remote trigger (or the built-in timer) for a jitter free long exposure shot.

The moondog is a high-level cloud icecrystal halo phenomenon, and it is not so very rarely seen. Although more frequently by sunlite. Even in tropical latitudes these halo phenomena are quite frequently seen, just in cases of high cloud presence. In the Philipine display we recognize the 22degrees circular halo, and parselenia (moon dogs) at its left and right sides.
