Car light corona through the windscreen

 We were sat waiting in the car on a rainy day. I noticed that the bright white headlights (or maybe they were LED sidelights) were giving a wonderful diffraction corona.

It proved very difficult to photograph. I think one thing is that I was holding the camera too low. The diffraction depends a lot of droplet size and that was probably variable across the windscreen. It must have been optimal at eye height!
