Details:
The Moon with Jupiter inside a series of halos, including a 22° lunar halo and upper and lower lunar tangent arcs. These were fairly feint so I've increased the contrast and saturation slightly to make them more plainly visible. Although it's not clear, there is also an almost ghostly presence of a paraselenic circle but it's very ill-defined and there are no visible moon dogs. This is the first time I recall seeing a lower lunar tangent arc and almost missed it, initially mistaking it for cloud! The weather at the time felt slightly damp but, presumably, there must have been ice crystals higher up. Nikon D800; 18mm F4; 4s/f4/ISO800
