Fridolin occultation - 2007 October 20

Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 11 km diameter of Fridolin. With no chords it is not possible to determine where the actual path was releative to the observers event. The spacing of observers was very good if the path had been close to the predicted track.
