Description

During a sunspot observation/imaging session from my living room window (opened), I noticed a plane with a nice jet trail, it passed through pretty quick but I managed to snap it just as it was leaving transit giving an effect of the plane orbiting the sun and its jet trail "splitting" the sun down the middle.
