What did you do, drag out the antique protractor and measure the mean angle of the apparitions? :worried:

No. I read the link. Is that cheating? :o

(As others have pointed out) That, my friend, is a sundog, also known as parahelia. Best one I ever saw myself was at Hanscom AFB in MA. Arizona's got a lot of great atmospheric optics, though.

Bruce sez they aren't sundogs, due to the lack of an obligatory angular requirement.

Yes, Bruce...reading the links is, in fact, cheating. It makes it much harder for me to sound like I'm intelligent when people who actually *are* intelligent use logic and research to dispute points which I have carefully pulled out of my ass and tossed onto the screen. :p

Don't you call me a TW, I'll kick your ass. :lol2:

So, Els, do you have to pull them out carefully because you're such a tightass, or is it because they're, well, pointy?
