Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 74 km diameter of Riga. With only one chord it is not possible to determine whether Dave was north or south of the central line of the event. Hristo was located exactly on the predicted centerline so the two line overlap.

The plot above shows the Limovie graph of the event with two reference stars included.
