Mallet B & al: eagle or butterfly at the right phase

 

Saw this tonight 30. May 20UT with my 107/600. Showed up in the NASA preview, and indeed it was to be seen like that. Specially the isolated "head", seen as in the preview, contributes to the impression. Butterfly, well, 3 quarter of it I would say. The bird/eagle impression is showier I find, with everything in full light and with the well defined tail.

 

regards
