Johanna occultation - 2008 June 26

Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 123 km diameter of Johanna. With only one chord it is not possible to determine whether Steve was north or south of the central line of the event. However, his chord is close to the expected maximum length expected which would suggest that the chord might lie close to the central portion of the asteroid.
