Details:
During Lunar eclipse night I used a fisheye to capture the entire sky that might be used to make a movie and perhaps even capture a meteor. Tucson had clouds and haze that resulted in a Lunar halo forming and disappearing. In the midst of the halo a rare, possibly unique Lunar halo formed the bright circumscribed halo along with a rare paraselenic circle, and an even rarer Parry arc. Combining all three is very rare and possibly unique per Les Crowley who analyzed and interpreted this. See https://flic.kr/p/2mKYdUj for Les's diagram and this photo at better resolution.
My telescope photos were decent of the eclipse but I was disappointed with the haze and clouds during the eclipse, but this certainly made lemonade out of the lemons.
This photo was captured with a Nikon D800 and Sigma 8 mm fisheye with 20 second intervals. The entire set captured comprised the 10 minutes or so that these halos were visible and will be assembled into a time-lapse later.
