We saw the ring two nights in a row and someone told me it was clouds. I didn't buy it because it was a perfect circle. It is called a moon halo, and it is pretty rare to see. I can't get my camera to take a decent picture of ANYTHING, so I didn't even try. It was beautiful though.

I am providing prints of the composite to any who are interested (cover printing and shipping costs). Richard in Canada is going to look after getting the printing and shipping done for me. He is having a printer make up a 7"x30" this weekend so that we can see what sizes work best. May use that size as a base or even have a bigger print option if that is what is asked for. Just Email or PM me if you are interested.

Thanks to everyone for sharing your photos of this event. I was so excited to photograph it myself with my new Nikon 80-400 VR

, but of course the skies were completely overcast until it was well over with Sad

. I was so upset. Oh well, I guess.

The tripod head I was using was rated at 5.5 pounds. It caused me a ton of problems. After $120 or so my NEW tripod head is rated at 18 or so pounds. Plus its a regular old ball head with a lever to turn. **stomps foot**

I too had to deal with clouds.. But as long as one of us got it and Robert did it well.
