Details:
It was raining and the moon came out big and bright from behind the clouds, perfect recipe for a moonbow! The Moon was fairly high and the moonbow started to appear somewhat low on the horizon with Arcturus setting just below it. It was visible as a faint white arc and even started to show some subtle color at its peak to the unaided eye. It was so beautiful and rare to see the moonbow paired with the twinkling stars. It lasted for just a few minutes then faded as the rain let up.
