Occulting Sun
New Zealand, on Mar 8, 2004

This was taken in New Zealand. Looking at it with the naked eye, it actually looked a lot bigger than the photo shows, also looked prism like, like you would with the sun hitting a crystal and reflecting off. Couldn't see it yesterday as we had alot of cloud.

This appears to be a sundog to the right, but the photo has captured an Occulted Sun, lopsided and not circular. Per reports, there is an orb in front of the Sun occulting it in the ratio of Nickle/Penny size. This photo relates.
