I wonder if anyone else saw the gorgeous colourful halo round the Moon in the early hours of today (April 8 2015) seen in north Leeds. The halo was red on its outer edge and then faint spectrum colours going inwards. The Moon was behind some very thin cloud at the time I saw the halo, which was 1:10 a.m. (I was up a little later than usual) but by 1:15 the colours were fading. I took the attached photo but it does not do the colours justice and also had to be zoomed in as otherwise the Moon would have been much too small in a photo. I wonder what times the halo was seen?
I appreciate that this may not strictly be a Secret Leeds topic but I thought I would post it in General Chat hoping that it will be of interest.
