Arto Oksanen, Jyväskylän Sirius

On September 2, 2017, the Hankasalmi AllSky camera detected a halo play every minute. The raw images are still unprocessed, but here's a taste of the jpeg images. The picture below was taken at 11:50:58.

How the soul cries blood when you are sent to the store and you did not realize to bring a camera and a wide-angle lens. The worst pain then on the Samsung S7 mobile phone was I grabbed a couple of pictures.

The cottage trip took a surprising turn when bright halls began to appear near the center of Kuopio. First I saw a 22 degree ring + top side, top concave Parry, side suns, small pieces of horizon ring and 46 degree pool side, but soon the 22 degree pool side brightened from a small splash of color into a striking arc that was well visible on the way to Puutossalmi ferry. After the castle, the 22-degree pool side disappeared from view, but the horizon ring began to show better all the time, and finally on the Leppävirta side in Länsi-Saamais, it circled the whole sky. At the same time, 120-degr...

Between the thick lower clouds was a fine halo play with an eye-catchingly bright 22 side by side and a full horizon ring.

Markku Nykky

High above the low cumulus clouds was a hazy, almost all-day-sounding cloud of gauze that produced bright halos — at least a 22-degree ring, a 22-degree overhanging arc, a horizon ring, and side suns, two of the former first in the picture.

Shown here (as far as I know) is a 22-degree ring, a 22-degree overhanging arc, side suns, and a horizon ring. Photographed with a potato (i.e. Samsung G4).

Eila Tiirinen

I went to photograph the birds with 600 hundred. Let me look at the sky as I drove when it looked like a cloudy cloud suitable for halos. And yes, there were side suns and upside down, and soon a horizon ring and other side-by-side was visible. Zyk or a 45-degree ring was visible, but did not hit the pictures. Look when there was nothing but a cell phone with which I photographed ... I added one more picture of the horizon ring .. this point is almost opposite the sun, something in a west-northwest direction .. maybe!

Harri Kiiskinen, Jyväskylän Sirius

This was a great halo day! At times a little cloudy, but soon again a handsome play in the sky. I didn’t figure out what is that arc parallel to the horizon ring, but higher up, which seems to start from that overhead. Pictures 1 & 2 at 11:48 Figures 3 & 4: 10:42 Pictures 4 & 5: 10:40 p.m.

Heidi Rikala, Ursa (Helsinki)

I drove to Viljakkala to Inkulansilla to photograph a handsome halo right in the lake landscape. Actually, the idea was to get a halo reflection on the water when you were quite calm. Not much was reflected in it, well Parry was nicely reflected.

Mikko Larjo, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

The morning was delighted with the halo performance. For a moment, to the left of the sun was a dimmer horizon ring extending almost to the opposite point. Unfortunately, however, this was lost when retrieving the camera. Anyway, it was the longest horizon ring I’ve seen live. In the heavily USMat picture, an eager mind could also see Parry. However, I left it unmarked, maintenance will fix it if it is.

Anna-Riikka Ihantola

From nine in the morning until at least four in the afternoon halos more or less. Pictures from 10-12. The 46-degree pool side appeared from time to time, on both sides. as well as a horizon ring that appeared on the full ring for a moment. For a little while in the afternoon, a 46-degree overhang was visible, but then the camera was not included. The 22-degree pool side in particular was very bright at times, otherwise the halos were clear.

ZYK was bright and colorful, 22 Ylläs clear. HR and 22 saur also showed little time and hints of Parry. Quick cell phone images do not get it properly confirmed.
