Nice rainbow pic, Patrick. One of the interesting parts of these double rainbows is that the order of the colors in the dimmer outer rainbow is reversed.
On the brighter rainbow to the right, the green is on the right. On the dimmer rainbow to the left near the dome, the green is on the left.

That it was a quadruple rainbow is a bit easier to see in http://utahastro.info/temp/RAINBOW01.JPG . Many of us watching commented that while we'd seen many double rainbows in the past, this was the first time two of the bows converged near the ground. I've no idea why the convergence but I'm guessing one of the bows was being formed by a moisture mass that was closer than that forming the ones behind. Patrick
