Fortunately, there was no rush today with the cloudiness, so I finally got to test Samyang's wide angle and the 6D Mark II in halo photography. You can get a pretty good result with that combination, but the fisheye will definitely still be added to the purchase list. In itself, it's a shame that only basic pretzels were available again.

In the early morning coffee time, the moon was 22r, after six the low clouds covered the sky. Jupiter still fit inside the ring.

In a couple of nights it was possible to look at Jupiter again. On October 2, even while filming the video, bigger and brighter light spots or spots than usual attracted attention. I had also filmed on September 25, which can be compared; bottom picture.

There was a special ring on the sun. It doesn't really look like just a halo. The morning picture has a clearer halo ring. In the afternoon there was a browner ring and wide. Either would look like a halo from above. I do not know: D

A clear brown ring around the sun. Blue inside and out, I'm guessing bishobby.

The weather was bad all week. Rain and strong wind. Nothing to observe. I'm usually a night owl and a morning sleeper :) I happened to wake up and noticed that it's even light. Had to go check if anything was visible. The rim of the moon was visible along with Jupiter. There is a line in that one picture. The plane might have missed it. The clouds sometimes obscured the view. The hands shook such a star line in that picture. I did come to a few others. Couldn't find what star it was. You can only get a few stars/planets in pictures with this phone.

Säätila gave its challenge to observation. The Moon was at 43° elevation, with Jupiter right next to it. However, the seeing between the cloud rafts is moderate, so it was a shame to leave the drawing unfinished.

I'm only posting this observation here now because I "mistaked" shooting halos all the way to stacks, after which I ran into technical problems with Halostack. (For example, you could write your own comment about them.) I have previously made a few photo stacks of halo images with a "hand game", which were not originally thought to be stacked, but now I shot a series of images for the stack. Photo 3: in the afternoon I noticed a faint halo arc above the Sun, and took a stack of about 30 pictures of it (after that the Sun had time to pass out of the obscurator). However, tuning the tripod a...
