Sundogs!!

Here`s a link telling you what Sundogs are,
Weather Elements: Sun Dogs
and here are some Sundogs I was lucky enough to see recently! I thought I was all lucked out after seeing a daytime FIREBALL meteor over my house a while back, massive that was too!! I must be on a roll

These pictures are quite bright but I didn`t want to alter them in any way but if you tilt your screen away from you just a bit, you can see just how colourful they were. They just looked like free floating rainbows. Amazing....

Wow I had never even heard of these until now. o_o

Very pretty, though!

Very cool, wish i had seen them as well.

Oh wow, that is amazing. I'd never heard of them either. Beautiful...I wish I'd seen them. Maybe I will someday. I also really want to see ball lightning..I think that is the coolest concept ever.

Believe it or not, I`ve seen that too, right over my house!

A buzzing, crackling ball that moved slowly at first and was then at the horizon in seconds, amazing. I think I attract weird stuff lol

My fave is when my dogs want out for a late night wee wee and I get to see the most awesome meteor ever just at that moment.

I`m often out until four o`clock with my huge telescope, I see lots of stuff like that but it never gets any less awsome. I`ll have to show you guys some of my work

I`ve photographed some pretty amazing stuff in my time....

Would love to see some photo's mate. Space has always been intrigueing and scary at the same time

Why Scary??

I would board a ship and leave without even asking where we are going....

Hmm where to start black holes, aliens like in the x files, no air, gas burning like the sun with out air make no sense to me and im sue i could on forever. It does interest me though

My dad was a farmer, he used to tell me sundogs foretold a weather change for the worse. Usually that it was going to turn colder. Nice Pics Feebo!

Cheers

I`ll do an astro thread soon then.....

Feebo · 09-25-10, 07:34 AM

I was happy enough to have seen it once ! I`ve just seen Sundogs above my house

I`m dead chuffed all over again

Some fantastic clouds here at the moment too but they don`t seem to photograph very well. I might try and process what I`ve got a little later to try and pull it out. I could get right into my clouds....
