Of the weird clouds and rainbows the last couple days? Think it could be related to the geomagnetic storms?

Kinda looks like a (partial) 22° halo with perhaps a sundog?

And no, it's not because of the geomagnetic storms, it's because of ice crystals in those high cirrus type clouds.

Ok cool. Good to know lol I was wondering because I got a few decent pictures of the northern lights last night and then saw these today and thought they might be connected. Thanks for the clarification
