Observers:

3(P) Prediction TT14 Feb 26
Discussion:
The circle above is plotted at the expected 89 km diameter of Edna. With only one chord it is not possible to determine whether Dave was north or south of the central line of the event. However, assuming the updated prediction was approximately correct the plot suggests that that the chord might lie within 25km of the central portion of the asteroid.
The figure below shows the AOTA analysis of the Tangra light curve of the occultation.
