Attached is my first observation of Venus in the current 2022-23 eastern elongation.  The planet is still low down but will improve over the coming months.  Although seeing was poor some faint cloud markings could be seen on the disk.   Other points include:
Bright Limb Band:  Not seen
Terminator: Geometrically regular
Cusp Caps:  Neither seen
Cusp Collars: Southern cusp collar seems to be present.
