Panorama of the solar halo

An interesting phenomenon was filmed by Yuri Gnatyuk on Solovki Island on August 24, 2013 - a solar halo. And not just a halo, but also a number of pargelias, an anti-aircraft arc, two types of halo, a pargelium arc, as well as rare false Suns, which are 120 ° apart from the Sun.

Halo itself is a frequent occurrence, but almost all of its varieties to catch in one moment is a very big success. But the main merit of the author lies in the fact that he managed to shoot a full panorama. It is worth noting that the first time I saw the full panorama of this phenomenon. This work is very useful for novice observers of similar phenomena, as well as for photographers who want to capture the halo and pargelia.
Halos are atmospheric phenomena that arise from the refraction of sunlight in ice crystals. The view of the halo and the false sun depends on the shape of these crystals.
