Hello halo watchers,

   I did a simulation of the Jamsa display and by looking at the gap between the lower sunvex parry arc the lower tangent arc the elevation of the moon is 30 degrees. In the last few images showing the parhelic circle and subhelic arc there appears to be a horizontal piece of a colored halo near the ground and I think it could be a lower wegner arc because the sky was full of crystals.

When I get jpeg versions df the simulations done I will email them.

Best,
Michael
