Who else hunts Atmospheric optics?
I am not 100% sure that atmospheric phenomenon and optics is actual weather, but on the other hand, I guess it would be since weather, I.E., rain and clouds, often cause some of the phenomenon.
So, I was wondering who else here looks for Halos and Rainbows and Iridescent clouds and the like? If you do, show your stuff! Ever see any of the rare stuff?

I was going to post this last night in my OP, but my host was acting up. Anyway, here is one more from Halloween night that has a couple things going on
 The Belt of Venus as well as Earth's shadow, the moon rising and some anticrepuscular rays tossed in for good measure. Did not even see the rays until after I loaded the image back up on the LCD

One that I was fortunate to finally put away this year was the capture of a fog bow. Rather than repost material, everyone's contribution to that thread is worth another look.

My best would be this one that was only caught in its entirety by using a 20 mm lens.
 A Rare Double After Sunset Rainbow: (The tallest to be seen)  Rainbow Spokes:  Wide Angle Low Double Rainbow: (nearly the shortest to be seen)  Clicking any of the pictures will take you to the full collection. |

The two volcanic eruptions we've experienced over the past two years have been a pretty good and rare opportunity.
Kasatochi ashfall from September 2008  Sarychev ashfall from June 2009  Unrelated to ashfall, my best pillar from January 2009
