Well here is the movie.  About three seconds, and watch the plane transit the active region.  Click here for the YouTube version, and click the image for the movie in my gallery.

Today the day started with clear skies, except in the Eastern Sky I saw clouds, so I imaged as soon as the sun cleared the trees in the East.  Today 8 active regions on the surface with not much activity, however, except for the surprise I got when during the imaging of AR1277, 79 and 82, a shadow flew thrug the image.  First I thought it was a bird, but analizing after the set was finished, it appeared to be an airplane.  Finally!! :-)  You have to realize that I live in the Eastern Departure path of ATL, and turbulence of many planes has played havoc with some of my planetary images.  However, never did a plane cross the image on the chip, except today.  I could not hear or see the plane but it was flying from the North/South.  Here the images of the sun.  I will need to extract the images with the plane from my PC, on which I image, and post them later.
