It could be that you can get a similar photograph from any old sundog (caused by aligned ice crystals in high cloud) by underexposing the heck out of it.

Here’s a hint, something I figure out just a week ago.

Here is a typical photo of a sundog. Everyone has seen one.

I’ve got heaps of photos of such things and yes if you have any photo editing app then increasing contrast etc., will make the rainbow colours stand out better against the sky. Otherwise the camera cannot actually catch what the eye is able to discern.
