Perhaps popularly [= a long time interval] but I think a "blue moon" eg an actual blue coloured moon due to atmopherics, are even rarer and also unpredictable

Be sure to tell us when we can expect to see one, Nytecam, it sounds beautifully spooky

Wish I'd seen this thread sooner. Hope it's not too late to add a sea dog (or fog bow) to the moon dog and sun dog!

This



seems to be part of the parhelic circle, taken today at about 12.30 with a wideangle lens, facing north. They mentioned on local radio at around eight o'clock, that people had been reporting a halo round the sun, which I believe was identified as the 22° halo, but had forgotten until I was looking at the sky, watching three Buzzards fly over the garden. Then I spotted this. There was a brief appearance of an east sundog. I will keep an eye on the sky for the rest of today
