A 2.2 sec occultaion was observed By Michael Nelmes at Mt Rogers using binoculars.
View the updated prediction.
Observers: 1 M Nelmes. Mt Rogers, ACT, Australia 2 Pedicted
Discussion:
The circle above is plotted at the expected 174km diameter of Daphne. With only one chord it is not possible to say which side of Michael's location the central path was, but if we assume the predicted path was accurate then it appears that he was north of centre line.
