Cloud at the full Moon, just have to wait it out and hope it clears

My thinnest image to date of the waxing crescent Moon

Blessed in a cloud break to see these wonderful atmospheric optics around the Moon.

A 22° Moon halo and also a 9° halo. At each side of the 22° halo are moon dogs and at the top of the halo is an upper tangent arc.

Started the evening off with a scruffy halo and it just got better as the hours passed, will it get even better?

I always find it nice seeing a 22° halo around the Moon, but I was treated to a rare 9° halo also. The Moon was 64% illuminate proving that the Moon doesn’t need to be a full Moon to produce halos, just a light source.

I went to the rooftop with some friends to take some pictures..My building is right on the flightpath to the airport: I saw a plane come in from the right, waited a few seconds, and got lucky!

A full moon is the lunar phase that occurs when the Moon is completely illuminated as seen from the Earth. This occurs when the moon is in opposition to the Sun (when it is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun; more precisely, when the ecliptic longitudes of the Sun and Moon differ by 180 degrees). This means that the hemisphere of the Moon that is facing the Earth (the near side) is almost fully illuminated by the Sun and appears round (while the far side is almost completely unilluminated).

Many thanks to all those who view, comment and or fave my photoes.....It is greatly appreciated ......Chandana
