About this image

Seeing conditions were very poor but the infrared pass filter helped to produce a reasonable image. A gusty breeze shook the telescope as well. Theoretical phase is 49.5%, with dichotomy taking place tomorrow (June 4th) but I was unable to make an actual phase estimate in such poor conditions. Lovely sunny morning though.
