Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 45 km diameter of Regina. With two chords we can be reasonably sure that the plot represents a good estimate of the event location.

The figures below shows the lighcurve of Jonathan Bradshaw's chord of the occultation from Limovie software.

Comments: I found the star easier to locate than I thought. 
At mv 12.0 in bright 
moonlight the image could be 'held' but not with ease, 
to the extent that if there had been 
a 0.2 second event, 
it could have been missed. However the event was obvious and I don't 
think 
I glimpsed the asteroid during disappearance.  The star just 
'went out'.  
I know this sounds silly, 
but if it is not obvious you are concentrating 
on waiting for the reappearance a few seconds later
rather than trying 
averted vision if the asteroid is not obvious. This period is one of 
heightened 
tension with the comparison star continually being monitored 
because this references the position 
of the occulted star.
