    Beautiful. Since it was taken directly overhead I presume it to be a Circumzenithal Arc (CZA). See Atmospheric Optics group

    :)

  • Rany Lutz replied

    HI Ern,
    I think you are correct. I looked that up and it seems to fit. I was sure that the ice crystals in the contrail were causing the reflection. Before processing it is a wide multiple contrail with the halo running dimly across the patch of sky in the center. I used a high contrast to darken the contrail and concentrate the color.
    Thanks for the input, Rany
