Halo around the moon



No, I did not manage to take a picture of tonight's full moon because I missed it by a few minutes. I did see a brilliantly bright full moon but after I rushed into the house to take my camera, a very think cloud cover had already rolled over the moon. Even now, the moon is no-where to be seen. But I was lucky enough to take these pictures at about eight minutes past midnight. The first picture showed an almost full moon. Only the eastern edge of the moon was not quite so defined yet. Then I noticed a strange halo around the moon and that is seen in the second picture.
