Ken, you wrote: > I �would say that the picture is a fake of some kind, because the sun > exhibits no refractive "squash". If the picture is a fake of some kind or not is not necessarily related to the sun not showing a refractive squash. The sun shown has the "normal" appearance of an Omega-sun which, due to the large super-adiabatic lapse rate, has a different shape than the "normal" sun with the refractive squash. I observed and photographed a lot of those real Omega-suns. Usually I notice them only afterwards when looking at the pictures taken with a 6x zoom.
