Default Ring round the moon

This may be common as old boots, but the first time I've seen it.

Last night, around midnight, hazy, (no stars visible) and the moon had a
"rain tomorrow" (not yet!) fuzzy halo, there was a clear compltete bright
circle all round it at quite a distance.

The moon was close to fully overhead.

The radius was about a hand lengthways span at arms length, say about 15
degrees.

Is this a common phenomenon?, I've not seen it before, and is the clear
complete circle common.

I guess it's like rainbows, or sundogs, but would appreciate confirmation

thanx

mike
