Erm .... I think it's best to watch what you post online ... The Police Technology Department has been very active in getting pple who say the wrong things online ... =) If anything remote goes wrong on Xmas day ... and something blows up (even if it's one row of street lamps)... they might just question you ... =) Just like what we say in the police force - you can do everything and anything, just make sure nothing happens .... - you can say anything you want ... just hope nothing related to what you say happens, or it'll be investigated ... =)

Yesterday I was with Andrew at blk 215A, and the sun happened to have a huge halo around it, below are the pics. The innermost ring is reddish, the outermost is blue/violet.
Taken using Nikon coolpix 4500, with a Neutral density filter black taped to the front of it, heh, and Manfrotto 055pro + 410 head. Edited with Photoshop to make the halo more visible. Its definitely easier to see it with the eyes than to take pics of it.

I believe antares fingers are pointing towards the halo visible in all the pictures. Resembles the top perimeter of a glass cup with light striking off it.
Ok, I will create a new post the next time. I was just afraid of unnecessarily creating a new subject post, so I decided to post it back here since I was taking those pics at the carpark anyway. hehe...
Soulfrost & Weixing: Yes , Weixing is correct. I had to use my hand to block out the sun or else I wont be able to take a pic of it. It will just become too overexposed. I was also afraid the sun may even "fry and cook" my digital camera and cause it to spoil if I pointed at it for too long. The halo itself is very huge, and there is no way I can take different sections of it without having the sun partially inside.
Ovm: Hmm I didnt realise my fingers was pointing at the halo, that was not my intention =P. Anyway, for those who saw it in the sky that day, the halo in the sky can be seen as a complete circular ring. In my pictures, the halo is around my fingers and palm, just that I wasnt able to take a picture of the entire halo in just 1 shot because of its huge size.
