It's cold and windy here in Indiana, but there's a faint
22° halo around the moon. As light passes through hexagonal ice prisms, no light leaves the prisms at an angle less than 22° making a distinct light/dark boundary with a radius of 22° radiating out from the moon.
This is only my second time seeing a lunar halo. I got much better photos compared to my
first attempt last winter.

Instagram's HDR filter really brings out the contrast along the light boundary |

Beefed up in Photoshop, the halo is still pretty faint |
|
This is a pretty good visual approximation of what was actually in the sky, very faint but definitely visible |

Another shot, auto contrast and color in Photoshop |
