An epic ring around the moon over Canberra tonight

DSC06682 - Edited

The sky over Canberra tonight has been graced by a massive and magical ring around the moon.

Normally they’re caused by hexagonal ice crystals in the upper atmosphere and are sometimes called a 22° halo.

UPDATE: Ari Rex has sent in a rather better effort.
