Upper tangent arc ?
Submitted by:
Lori at Tue Feb 28 21:46:01 2006 UTC
On Feb.08/06 I was greeted to a similar phenomenon as Beth Katz reported
today (Feb.28./06)
By checking with the site "Atmospheric Optics" (click on Infrequent
Halos) my finding could also be a PARRY ARC with a tiny Parry
infralateral to the left, - I'm not sure.
I had to use my garden ornament again to block out the sun at 11:30 am,
despite using a 4xN.D.filter with ISO 200 film.
I would appreciate clarification and can be reached at

horizon, at the same spot. Quite puzzling - a reversed Sun Pillar ?=20
