A real #sunset treat on Fri 20 Mar '26, a #SunPillar + #UpperTangentArc! Tangent arcs change shape dramatically with changing sun altitude so this was a deep V-shape that was sunset pink colour. Photos taken from #Oxfordshire, UK with a #Fairphone4 mobile phone camera #AtmosphericOptics
More #AtmosphericOptics from Oxfordshire UK on 14 Jan '26. #22DegreeHalo #UpperTangentArc #SupralateralArc + faint #CircumzenithalArc. They show up better after colour subtraction.
On 6 Oct the almost full #Perigee #Moon produced some spectacular #lunar #AtmosphericOptics. Very bright right side #paraselene (#moondog) with long #ParaselenicCircle fragment, very prominent lunar #CircumzenithalArc, #UpperTangentArc. Our Auroracam also caught a 120deg paraselene Oxfordshire, UK!
