New Weatherstation Levenhuk PRO LP500

I replaced my Oregon WMR200 and BAR928 with a new weatherstation Levenhuk Pro LP500. Both Oregon stations are >10 years old and the sensors did not work anymore. My preference for Levenhuk Pro LP500 was based on following criteria:

• Measuring in/outdoor temperature, humidity, rain, winddirection, windspeed and pressure
• Data capturing of all data in order to do analysis
• Samrtphone connection 

The Pro LP500 forfills all criteria and has following extra's:

• moon phases
• sunrise, sunset and sunpath
• UV index
• Solar radiation (Lux/W/m2)
• automatic time
• link to Ecowitt and WUnderground and thus linked to smartphone
• datacapturing via microSD or direct PC connection
• weather forecast

Using PWS Monitor app, you can find my weatherstation with ID = ISCHER75

First HDR image using bracketing - Moon Halo with Mars

To capture a halo around the Moon I applied bracketing using my Nikon D7500. Postprocessing was done using all 5 "bracketing" images with CS4 (Menu Automatic, Merge to HDR). Once the image is made, some minor editing and noise reduction was done. The final image has some more details using this HDR technic.

Double Rainbow

Noctilucent Clouds

Noctilucent clouds above Averbode reaching up to 60°. Observation done from UT20h08 till UT20h40.

Setting :

Nikon D7500 24mm f/4.5 ISO1600 and exposure time of 0,5s

Sun Halo

 

Some halo's around the Sun this late afternoon:
- 22° halo

- Sundogs

- Upper tangent

- Circumzenithal arc

- and below the circumzenithal arc touches the supralateral arc

The supraleteral arc is not quit circular and thus I guess it's not the 46° halo.

Circumscribed Halo

At noon the Sun came out with a halo round it. Beside the 22° halo, there was also a circumscribed halo above the Sun and the parhelic circle. After editing the picture, I found also the lower circumscribed halo.

According Meteoros.de website  i could simulate my image.
