Details:
I've seen halos around the Sun and Moon many times before. Different types as well. But I have never seen 3 before. Especially a halo that close to the Moon or Sun. The inner halo was just barely visible to my eyes. The camera brought it out pretty good. At first I thought I was just seeing things and that the inner halo was actually something to do with the lens. But as the clouds later started to thin out, the halo slowly faded away and it was no longer visible to my eyes. Then you have I assume the 22 degree halo. I don't know what the halo is just outside of that. I'm not even going to pretend to know what's going on here. Any info would be much appreciated. This was seen on 6/3/2017 at around 11pm.

More detailed: a fantastic lunar display with 9, 18 and 23 degrees plate arcs. So 3 moon halos indeed!
