DCT/LMI observations of WD 1145+017 on UTC 2015 May 11 in the V-band (top) and on 2015 May 18 in the R-band (bottom). The observed low-level variability is unlikely to be due to pulsations, and is likely due to dusty material passing in front of the white dwarf and scattering light out of the line of sight.
