isualization of rainbows, glories and coronas:

DisplayCIE☺ (by S. A. Rozhenko),

OpticalPhenomenaViewer☺ (by A. V. Zakovryashin),

a brief description for both programs (only in Russian at the moment) is in file Glory_Visualization_Programs.rtf☺.

These two similar programs are aimed to visualize such optical phenomena as halos, coronas, rainbows and glories.
