I saw one today, quite distinct. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen one before. (You can also see a 22 degree halo in this picture). The colours of a circumzenithal arc are purer than those of a rainbow.

A friend and I once conceived of a little club. He liked the name I came up with for it which was ‘Circle Eccentric Consortium’. This thread remind me of that for some reason….

Nice, I’ve never seen one, only sundogs. Caused by the sun refracted by ice crystals.
