and 10 O'Clock Weather Reports and the second image on their Weather 101 Web
Page.

You've seen the Weather we've had. Nice really, low 90's to mid 80's and
Cloud free, Boring but I wasn't going to complain ;-). Oh yea, if you look
at the Satellite image you sent me a link to a few years ago it's now in
Color.

Very pretty, and one of my favorite subjects. Actually occur best in
very thin 'young' (recently condensed) altostratus clouds or cirrus
that hasn't glaciated yet, with nearly uniform-sized cloud droplets
small enough to refract spectral colors. Normally found with 10~20°
degrees of the sun.

When the droplet sizes are even more uniform, you can get more
organized circular coronae.

Last image shows a altostratus corona, with the much lager, diffuse
Bishop's ring in the background caused by refraction in the
stratospheric sulfuric acid emissions of Mount Pinatubo, erupted
nearly 18 months earlier.
