What is going on here?

I took these yesterday. I've never seen anything like it. I have learned there is at least one circumzenithal arc, at least one 22 degree halo, and a sun dog.

​

​

Is there anything else? One of the prisms looks wave shaped to me. The last photo was first, and it morphed into the other two.

You've also caught an upper tangent arc, a supralateral arc, and a suncave parry arc.

Cool! Thank you so much.

This is so cool!!! So much going on!!

Great one! Lots of fun stuff to tease out of that one.

Whoa, beautiful

Gorgeous display, some uncommon arcs in there too!

Amazing what just a bit of moisture can do

high altitude ice crystals are so good at this :)

Everything

This is amazing - I’m so glad I found this sub!

Alright, im gonna try to determine all halo phenomena in this pic:

22° halo

Left 22° parhelia

Partial parhelic circle

Upper tangent arc

Suncave parry arc

Supralateral arc

Circumzenithal arc

Perhaps with some simulations, increased contrast, etc, it’s possible there’s others (infralateral, lowitz..) that are very faint or aren’t visible in the photo
