So did you see it flick past in realtime, or did your stacking software have a hissy fit?

Chris did quite well with his Moon shot a few years ago - did a few laps on the global media circus.

Looks like a 737-800 to me.
The A380 would not have fit in the solar disc so well
I was watching the capture and actually saw the event real-time.
Frames 208 through 220 out of a 450 frame run caught the action

I had a similar one way back at the first Venus transit when I first started imaging:

A Jumbo flying from the west (an odd approach) during the transit flying through the sun for several shots. Complete with the distortion caused by the exhaust.

Indeed I've previously seen that transit image of yours Greg...nicely done.
