Gregory T.Shanos
Perfectly clear skies.  Seeing was above average for ultraviolet and deteriorated rapidly when I imaged in the infrared.
I added Removed Protective Window.   I had removed the protective window on all my ZWO cameras before first light.
I figure I would add it in.   Do you really require the De,Ds and Ls information?   I am trying to streamline my template.

the CD should be visible but it isn't,unless it's that little vertical structure arrowed in the small image,but if that's the case it's shrinking and shifted to the west with an accelerated rotation of less than 5 days. Your thoughts on this are very welcome.

Manos Kardasis
This observation was made in average weather conditions with passing clouds.
I managed to capture the Cloud Discontinuity in the IR900 nm image and in the sharpened visual band image. It is followed by a brighter area  and has shrinked north compared to the appearance 5 days ago (on my 3/5/2023 observation).
The CD is not  visible in Blue and UV data (although my UV is very poor)

Dear sirs,on May 08 I arrived very late at home and seeing was awful. Only got an IR image that virtually shows nothing. Fortunately,Manos' and Paulo's results fill the gap!
I wonder if the CD was already visible,near the limb,on May 7 (arrowed). It would have to have an about 70? long difference from May 8. The rotation of this cloud front,on may 7 is depicted in the gif. On May 9,both IR and UV atmospheric features were visible (see gifs for its rotation),namely a UV bright spot (arrowed) with adjacent dark areas.
