Problem solved! Mac Oglesby just solved the image ellipse problem that I had with the pinhole sharpener when the sun is low. I had been holding my sharpener perpendicular to the sun's rays which produces an elongated image of an ellipse around sunrise and sunset. He said that if I hold the sharpener parallel to the ground, that the image becomes round. I didn't believe him and thought it impossible, but both Edley and I just tested it and Mac's right! Although as Edley noted to me, the image is dimmer, but that's no problem.(Using some tilting of the planes because its midday here).
