Hi all,

I also noticed in 3 of my closeup images that there was apparently an
object in transit across the face of the sun. I created an animated GIF
of these three. If anyone can tell me what the object might be I'd
appreciate it.

The transit shot is he



Take a look and tell me what you think?


Aeroplane? That would show up as a fast moving black dot through the filter
paper. I ran Starry Night across the whole of sun up for 30/10 and nothing
seemed to transit (although that's no guarantee that it didn't). My
co-ordinates are almost certainly different from yours though, so if you
post date, time, longitude and latitude of the shots, I'll look again on the
off chance that SN shows anything. Looked to be too large a spot and moving
too fast to be stellar, imo.

Definitely terrestrial, if the shots were taken in burst mode.
Could be a fast (and low) flying bird, a plane or Superman.
