Don't know about the new Zero Image, I have an original. Others have
mentioned the brass plate inside the camera which may be a cause of the
flare. I routinely put black flocked paper on the inside of all my
homemade (and commercial) pinhole and zoneplate cameras which seems to
cut down on stray light. Edmund Scientific sells it as do other DIY
Telescope suppliers. Good luck,
Howard Wells
