Not only
lens flares have to be kept in mind, but also all kinds of internal lens reflections, which can produce darker and/or distorted/mirrored copies of the primary object. I'm not denying the Second Sun issue, I'm just saying that observers should know their observation tools very, very well before formulating any conclusions.
Exactly. An observation is meaningless if the limits of the observing method/observing device are unknown and/or not taken into account.
I am in total agreement with both your observation's of this aspect of the limitations when one photograph's the sun involving this very bright object.
Of the captures that i was able to get today, (out of 64 frames this morning), I can not see what i am trying to capture so i am shooting in the blind. And using the last reference of the previous frame's from the prior post.
The last one's are a bit sharper, as i increased the resolution, up from the first one, which is a bit lower in pixel count.
I make no clams to know what i am viewing. Also in recoding today's image's the position change's on one frame, given the angle it was taken. So that kind throws a monkey wrench in it all, and i don't know why, or if it is a camera defect.
But it did change it's position a little from the 4 o'clock position, to say a little passed 3 o'clock, as of five day's later. Like it's as if it is moving upwards.
Also at best i be just a hobbyist astronomer, with very little knowledge, (as it has just been a life long love of looking to the night ski's), as to the true, and serious, Astor photographer's.
Just a dinky thought, is that the Hopi prophecy, indicated that the red star was proceeded by a blue star. Not at all saying that this it is though.
The Hopi Prophecies

The Hopi Prophecies Hopi Elders pass warnings and prophecies from generation to generation through oral traditions and reference to ancient rock pictographs and tablets. Hopi Blue Star or Blue Kachina Prophecy. An ancient Hopi Indian prophecy states,
"When the Blue Star Kachina makes its appearance in the heavens, the Fifth World will emerge". This will be the Day of Purification. The Hopi name for the star Sirius is Blue Star Kachina. It will come when the Saquasohuh (Blue Star) Kachina dances in the plaza and removes his mask. [Note: Reality is a metaphor in which we quest to find answers to the greater truth of who we are and why we are here. Soemthing in our souls tells us that change is happening on a global consciousness level. The blue frequency is part of that. Sirius is Isis - Return to the feminine of higher frequency energies - Rebirth of Consciousness. Blue links to higher/future frequencies of consciousness as we spiral up through the patterns of Sacred Geometry. Blue - electricity - our reality as an electromagnetic energy grid program. Blue: Indigo children, the blue alien lady, Isis, the Pleiades, Sirius, blue galaxies, blue chakra, blue ray and ascended master, and much more that will come 'out of the blue'. Use search engine to discover more about 'blue'.] Prophecy Rock We Are All Related By Dr. Allen Ross The end of all Hopi ceremonialism will come when a "Kachina" removes his mask during a dance in the plaza before uninitiated children [the general public].
For a while there will be no more ceremonies, no more faith. Then Oraibi will be rejuvenated with its faith and ceremonies, marking the start of a new cycle of Hopi life. World War III will be started by those peoples who first revealed the light (the divine wisdom or intelligence) in the other old countries (India, China, Islamic Nations, Africa.) The United States will be destroyed, land and people, by atomic bombs and radioactivity. Only the Hopis and their homeland will be preserved as an oasis to which refugees will flee. Bomb shelters are a fallacy. "It is only materialistic people who seek to make shelters. Those who are at peace in their hearts already are in the great shelter of life. There is no shelter for evil. Those who take no part in the making of world division by ideology are ready to resume life in another world, be they Black, White, Red, or Yellow race. They are all one, brothers.
" The war will be "a spiritual conflict with material matters. Material matters will be destroyed by spiritual beings who will remain to create one world and one nation under one power, that of the Creator." That time is not far off. It will come when the Saquasohuh (Blue Star) Kachina dances in the plaza and removes his mask. He represents a blue star, far off and yet invisible, which will make its appearance soon.
Added: Also being that the glass is green and blocking UV light, i have to think, if that changes it's true characteristics of what color it really is, if it is indeed a celestial object.
