This was a very colourful sundog, all the more interesting because the section of 22 degree halo to its right was also quite bright.

|
A wider view showing other contrails.
The break in the contrail is probably because the patch of virga had dried out the air around it.
|
|
After a couple of minutes the slow drift of the cirrus relative to the sundog is obvious.
|
|
As the cirrus drifts it becomes clear the sundog is in the virga not the contrail.
|
|
Part of the sundog's white tail is missing because of the gap in the cloud.
The section of 22 degree halo is visible but fading now.
