On the night of November 24th, 2007 I was lucky enough to catch a lunar halo right above my house, under a full moon. Of course I wasn't going to miss taking a picture of it, so I took my tripod, put my 400D camera on it, and took several shots. None of the shots was able to capture the entire halo, so what you see is a mosaic of two images.

In the image you can also see Mars (below the moon, out of the halo) and the star Capella (left, inside the halo).
