Found out via Twitter there was Moon halo. Rushed out and took a few snaps with my Canon 450D. I don't recall ever seeing a Moon halo below. It was wow!!

p.s. and Jupiter. :)

Yup, I stepped outside to let the dog out and saw it.

Nice picture.

Yeah, it was quite an impressive sight, even from the overly street-lit outskirts of Croydon...

Yeah I took a few pics too but they were crap as I didn't use a tripod. It was huge.

Well done Kenny. I was hoping somebody would image that ... it was stunning and especially with Jupiter in attendance.
