Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected diameter of Carnegia. With only one chord, it is not possible to tell if Graeme was east or west of the centre line of the event. The circle has been plotted centred on the observed chord.

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