I can only supply more guesses rather than answers I'm afraid, but I
also suspect that Bill is correct in thinking that it arises from
internal reflection(s) rather than a pinhole.

This is just a conjecture: I do not think this focused image of
the eclipsed sun is a pin-hole artifact. My guess is that it is a
focused image by the lens, but is a 2nd or 3rd internal lens
relfection. In this manner, the image might b
