    I’m guessing this is due to the steam coming out the vent rather than a fine layer of ice crystals across the entire sky. The sundog is only visible with that particular geometry of the sun and the vent, right?

      Rainbows due to water moisture show up when you face away from the sun. The geometry doesn’t work for when you’re facing the sun.

          Right. Sorry, I thought you were implying that the liquid moisture in the steam was causing the sundog. Didn’t realize it was cold enough for steam to freeze.
