ice dogs (Blue Mountains)

Spotted a parhelion left of the Sun as I walked along the groomed trail to the Carr Astronomical Observatory. Just a hint of the halo...



Data: FujiFilm J20, ISO 100, 1/950 sec, f7.8.

As I cut diagonally across the field to the CAO, it brightened a great deal, becoming prismatic. Finally, when I reached the house, I was rewarded with both, dual spots, parhelia.



I was pleased that the lens was wide enough to catch both.

Data: FujiFilm J20, ISO 100, 1/850 sec, f7.8.
