Halo complex October 13th 2008

Starting around midday cirrus clouds swept into Southern Ohio to produce a spectacular complex halo series that lasted well into the night. Dring the day all the common halos were visible and the rare halos were an exqusite upper suncave parry arc, 120d parhelia, and all three lowitz arcs. Later on after sunset a sharp bright orange red upper tangent arc was visible but it was not over yet because after the sky darkens and the moon come up there was 22d halo upper tangent and parry arcs, circumzenith and supralateral arcs and later on a sharp and complete parhelic circle was present with the blue spot and there were very nice lunar 120d parhelia and in some of the lunar halo pics I found wegener arc.
