Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected diameter of Eunike. With only one chord, it is not possible to tell if Steve was east or west of the centre line of the event, but it is likely that he was close to it. The model has been plotted centred on the observed chord.

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