Discussion:

The ellipse above is plotted at the same area as a circle of the expected 134 km diameter of Eukrate. With three chords we have confidence that the path centre is between Dave and Steve Russell's locations. There are no previous obseravtions of Eukrate with multiple chords and no data on the shape from lightcurve data.

The figure below shows Dave's Limovie light curve of the occultation.

The figure below shows Hristo's light curve of the occultation.
