Why did I get 2 Suns?

No as I blew up and did not see any remnants of a cloud. Also the suns would be too big when compared to shots that don’t have this effect.
There doesn't have to be a solid cloud between the two clouds to produce this effect; it just has to narrow down enough between the upper and lower cloud in the middle of the sun's image. Just the two bright areas of the sun located by an area darken just enough to produce the double flare effect.

It's possible that there was part of a cloud obscuring the central part of the sun. What you photographed was the two parts not being obscured.

I agree with you Bob.

That sounds very plausible.

Tatooine perhaps?
That was my first thought, but he did say Long Beach, NY, near where I used to live.

I took pictures during sunset at Long Beach NY with a Canon 80D and Canon 24-105 L Lens. for some unknown reason, in a run of pictures there seems to be a double sun. Was wondering if this was due to refraction in the lens?
There is a block in the middle of the sun (clouds) that split the one sun in half giving the illusion of two suns, but there is only one. I however have two sons and they are both doing well thank you.

Sorry, but that doesn't get my vote.

It's probably all of that pollution in the atmosphere up there!!!
Seriously, I don't know what caused it but I really like the photo (even with the 2 suns). But it possibly is light flare either from the filter or possibly in the lens. I'm not too well versed on Canon lenses, so I don't know where that particular lens falls in their lens quality. I know that Nikon has two or 3 levels of lenses that vary greatly in quality. They have their entry level in DX (generally Kit lenses) then their higher quality DX, there entry level FX and their higher or pro quality Fx lenses. It may be (and as I said, I don't know) that if it isn't caused by the filter, it may be the lens.

Same thing happens sometimes during total eclipses. The light shines through two valleys separated by a mountain just before the sun disapears behind the moon or begins to reappear. It gives a Double Diamond effect to the photogragh.

Sorry, but no mountain.

You post processed it with Luminar 2018 which allows adding a second sun.

Good guess, but the 2nd sun is in my RAW files. I really don't know how this occurred. I was at B&H and nobody there could explain it either, even the pro photographers that work there.
