If not the cloud cover or other atmospheric conditions, the lens of the camera the image was taken with. Was the halo visible to the naked eye or only in the photo?
I'm not op and I'm not near them but I saw the same halo with the naked eye last night with zero clouds.
If you're far enough north, ice crystals in the atmosphere create a halo like that.
