Can anyone tell me what it is and what are the circumstances of this photo ?

Full star catalog (2 million stars) the fov is set to more than 45 degrees (about 90?) and i think it's taken from the surface of the sun. Am I right?

Very good but the FOV is 125 deg. That is why one can see a tranparent "circle".
