Hi Jim Moonbow photo It's real, I went to get a drink of water, saw something odd, it was a moonbow so I decided to shoot because in the past I've just admired them w/ no photo. I put the DSLR on a tripod w/ a 16mm rectilinear fisheye and did a series of shots looking for one that had the most color. Then into Photoshop for levels, contrast and sharpening and a bit of house window light removal. It was posted on SpaceWeather for a few days, it was the 3rd image on that site in 10 days. There was another moonbow a couple hours later w/ a wider band, stronger color but low to the local houses, didn't shoot that one but I wish I had. Oh well ............. Aloha Rob
