Its a great display, compliments for this image! We see a faint Parry arc indeed, but much more halo forms as well. The horizontal reflection is not a tangent arc (thats the arc above and below the moon, tangent to the circular halo) but the paraselenic ring. Bright moondogs with Lowitz arcs are present as well, and other parhelia (60 degs, Liljequist) at the right. A faint 46 degs infralateral arc is right below the right parhelion. At the right, some faint light pillars are visible too, formed by Venus and earthbound light sources.
