I've heard of these ice crystal "moonbows" before, but never saw one. How very cool for you, Cajunmama! What an experience. Thanks, Travelrat, for the info.

It's not often you see the effect on the sun, but the 'ring around the moon' is seen more often. The ice crystals which produced the effect are in a layer so diaphanous the sky looks clear' it's only when they get near the sun (or moon) that the effect is seen.
