Timo Nevala, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)
This observation is a continuation of the observation of "durational halos" . That is, the same halo continued in the evening under the power of the Moon, which had been the case with the Sun during the day and the previous night with the Moon . The halo shapes were otherwise the same, except that the Moon could no longer see all the ones that the Sun could. The moon also had a side sun tonight - I'd rather call it a side moon.
I already thought that this was becoming a permanent situation, but at night the halos started to dim. In about two countries, you could say that they were no longer visible. And they probably didn't show up later either, at least I didn't notice. Even from the next day, I don't have any observation about them. If you consider that it was the same halos all the time, they lasted no less than 30 hours of one play! Of course, there are a few uncertainties here, because I haven't been constantly scanning the sky, but every time I looked, there was the halo. In addition, the light source has varied from the Moon to the Sun and again from the Sun to the Moon, and there was a pause in between when both were below the horizon. That this "30 hour halo" is a bit open to interpretation.
Picture 2 shows the halos best, but it also has a nasty lens flare. I put that picture here partly because, for example, unrelated "objects" may appear in photos of the sky, even without the picture being blurred or otherwise severely processed. By the way, the green spot of that lens reflection reminds me of a comet, with a hasty glance it's almost like that ZTF!
