Lunar Halo & Winter Sky over the Rocket Range

An ice crystal halo around the waxing gibbous Moon, Feb 9, 2014, taken from the site of the abandoned Churchill Rocket Range, in Churchill Manitoba. Jupiter is the bright object left of the Moon. Orion is below the Moon, and the field takes in the Winter Hexagon stars from Sirius at lower left to Capella at upper right. This is a 5-second exposure at f/4 with the Canon 10-22mm lens and Canon 60Da at ISO 800.
