Details:
While imaging the giant sunspot AR2470 today, I had the great luck to have an airplane crossing perfectly my field of view. Equipment: 8inch Newtonian and ASI 120MM-S camera. Full aperture Baader filer at the front, and Red filter before the camera. The Sun was at 20 degrees above the horizon. There are some interesting details, like the bow shock before the plane nose for example, that are visible in the animations and video.

Thanks for pointing out the video of a bow shock wave - I cant see the wave in the stills but its interesting on video.

Absolutely great video! Anyway even on your second image one could notice the distorted profile of AR2470 near the airplane tip.
