In response to the Knight who up until recently said "Ni!":
When you saw that amazing halo in the daytime, too bad you didn't have
one of those chrome hubcaps that people use to take all-sky photos.
Given that this rare ring configuration went all the way around the
sky, it would have made an amazing photo. Still, I imagine you're not
in any danger of forgetting it either.
Since I started observing, four years ago, it's interesting to note
all the sky events I had never noticed before. Ice fog haloes,
fireballs, sundogs, Venus' belt, Zodiacal light, etc... And, on a
simpler level, I'll bet that Janice & I have seen 5X more stunning
sunsets per year than we had previously. I guess these are just some
of the peripheral bonuses that come with regular observing.
Almost Any Skies!
