There has been many fabulous atmospheric optics displays across N. Ireland these last few days, some of the finest in a decade or longer. This evening I got a message from a friend tipping me off to a spectacular sunpillar in the sunset sky. I didn't have time to drive out to get images so I put my drone in the air instead, when I did I was very impressed. Even in the wide angle FOV the pillar was huge and striking, then as the sun lowered a 'cross' shape formed within the pillar which I have never seen before in over 25 years of sky watching. What a great show, perhaps more to come as this current weather pattern is expected to continue. In the footage here the drone is actually moving but because of the dark foreground you can barely make this out. When I zoom in from wide angle to x3 digital zoom the 'cross' formation really becomes apparent!
