I don't know why I thought it was the sun, of course - in which case you have a lunar halo there :-) Normally a reflection from the lens would cause reflections across the field of view, rather than around the light source itself.

Chris : same as you, the view seems to be curved downwards .... not sure if somebody sees it the other way ? Jon : thank you very much, I did not know I had "fans" of my work, I am most honored ! Jonathan : yes it does look like it, I was not sure if it was not some reflection inside the lens at some angle. BTW, it is the Moon we see there, not the Sun ;) Stéphane Thank you for your nice comments.

I've been a long-time fan of Stephane's deep-sky work, such as this 1200-image mosaic of the Sag-Sco region: http://www.astrosurf.com/sguisard/Pagim/GC.html Definitely check out his website for a wide range of astronomical images: http://www.astrosurf.com/sguisard/ Fantastic work!
