Solar halo seen at the CSU-CHILL site on Jan 4, 2010. The 22 degree halo is most prominent, with parhelia (sun dogs) on either side. An upper tangent arc is visible above the sun. The parhelic circle is faintly visible, running parallel to the horizon. Also visible (but not pictured here) are 46 degree arcs.
