Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected diameter of Notburga. The event as recorded is extremely brief, but definite, showing that Dave was close to one edge. The miss shows which edge and the circle has been plotted accordingly.

The event appears south of the predicted path.

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