I don't think there is a limit, it's just that each one is significantly less visible. It's all to do with the number of bounces within the rain drop.

IIRC rings 1 and 4 are towards the sun.

In cold climates you can also get sun halos where the position depends on the shape of the ice crystals in the air.

    While that might be right in some cases, these just had really bad plastic coverings. I had an htc cable made with the same stuff. Without using it just sitting the drawer, it now is cracked all over and the cover is falling apart. Mechanical stress probably would make it break faster, but these cables also just sucked.

    I would suspect it would end in a similar manner to reverse engineering code, if you get a description of the whole film without specific products or actors, then recreate from that, then yes. But if you directly compare the scenes and make corrections to the output to make them closer, then no.

    But you'll have to do it and get sued anyway so the courts can rule on it.
