Lunar Halo(s) encircling Jupiter and Saturn.
On 21st August 2021, around 10:16 PM, I came across these beautiful halos around the moon along with Jupiter and Saturn. However, there are more than one halos around the moon and it is probably not a (not so) regular 22° halo. I did a bit of reading and found a similar image captured by Greg Redfern in 2017 on an article by Deborah Byrd (Earthsky). According to Les Cowley (Atmospheric Optics), there were a total of 4 halos at 9°, 18°, 20° and 23°. However, I'm not exactly sure if they are similar in nature.
This image is a stack of 3 images taken at 11mm with Nikon D5600 and Tokina 11-16mm ATX-i lens from Kolkata.
