Ice halos around the nearly full moon.

There are several features in these photos.

1st photo is fisheye all-sky.

2nd photo looks closer at the zenith. (see alt text for more discussion)

3rd photo looks below the moon, near the horizon.

Go back to the first photo to take it all in again.

The brightest 'star' in these photos is the planet Jupiter. You'll also see Orion rising, the Hyades, Cassiopeia, and other constellations.
