Pyramidal halos Sept 13th 2012









While at the Herb Erwin Old Tyme Festival Cirrus clouds were moving in and first a common 22d halo with circumscribed halo formed but then more smoother cirrus came and thats when I noticed a double halo and the double was 23d halo and 18d halo. Close to the sun was a weak 9d halo. As the clouds moved in up to 5 circular halos were visible. In all there was 9, 18,22,24, and 46d halos. A couple pics show what could be a 35d halo but cannot be sure. There was also upper 23d plate arc and 18d plate arcs. The last two pics show iridescence in the vapor plume from the barrel of a pumpkin chunker cannon
