Circumscribed halo

[edit]

Hi there, thanks for adding the picture to Circumscribed halo. I'm not too happy about it being the main image though, since IMHO it does not clearly show its most characteristic trait: the fact that at certain solar elevations its sides are wider than the 22° halo. Your image shows a perfectly circular ring, which might very well be the circumscribed halo (one of the possible identifiers being the saturated colors, more typical for the circumscribed than the 22°), but it is impossible to tell from its shape. I would therefore propose to either remove the image from the page, or moving it somewhere lower and adding a description along the lines of "Illustration of how at a sufficient solar elevation the circumscribed halo can be indistinguishable from the 22° halo."
