Plane sun transit

Hi. I finally managed to capture a plane crossing the sun
Luck was on my side as i happened to go outside and saw a plane about 90 deg away from the sun. So i quickly setup the scope, pulled the battery off charge, fitted the camera to the scope, pointed to the sun and crossed the fingers. Luckily the focus was already set from a previous moon imaging session as i had literally seconds to spare.
Telescope- C102-HD refractor
Camera- 500D with t-ring
Solar filter
Single frame from an image sequence captured in movie mode
