Prokne occultation - 2011 May 13

Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 168 km diameter of Prokne. With only one chord it is not normally possible to determine whether John was east or west of the central line of the event. However with Jonathan Bradshaw's constraining miss we can be sure that John was in fact East of the mid point.

The figure below shows the Tangra light curve of the occultation.
