October Lunar Halo

Anybody see the nice lunar halo around the moon on Monday night?  It was a sight to see!  It happens when you have cirrus (high) clouds in the place and is a result of the moonlight reflecting/refracting off the ice crystals from the cloud...sometimes tough to get a good picture of, here's a shot from the Quad Cities late Monday night.
