| | | Full Moon
Is it a full Moon tonight? I can see it above the house if i stick my neck out. Can't quite tell if it is or not!
If so it's The Hunters Moon right?

Thanks Carlos
It did look a cracker last night shining through the clouds with it's surrounding display of colours. Can someone tell me if this spectrum of lights has a given name?

Hi
I think they are called moon-coronas or moon-bows.

yep - I've heard of them being called moon-bows....
Although, technically they are called 'halo's
Sometimes seen around the Sun too, it there is thin cloud.
There are quite a few similar phenomena....
A bright spot to either side of the Sun (usually seen in thin coud) is called a 'Sundog' - Sundogs are always 22 degrees to the side of the Sun.
Sun-pillars (as their name suggests) appear to be pillars of light pointing eother up or down from the Sun
Moon-dogs and moon-pillars are also possible, but rare.
Sometimes, what looks like an upside down rainbow may be seen above the Sun (22 degrees above the Sun to be exact) - this is called a 'circumzenithal arc'
As luck would have it, there's a pic of a Moon halo on 'Spaceweather' today - with links to explanations of the other phenomena.... SpaceWeather.com -- News and information about meteor showers, solar flares, auroras, and near-Earth asteroids

To save Jez from cricking his neck here's a photo of it as seen from Bexley yesterday (Thurs) evening... 
Sorry - no moon bows!

Have been fortunate enough to see a Moonbow quite few years back at sea. An amazing site.
Should be a good full moon tomorrow, I will be out there.

Thanks one & all for your going out & checking for me and providing me with the answers to my question. I appreciate it! I'm just not feeling too good at the mo to have the drive to be more enthusiastic about the Moons beauty right now. I think i'm coming down with something  . All being well i'll feel better after a good nights rest?
I will check out your posts in more detail tomorrow now!
Cheers
