Observers: 1 B Loader,Darfield,NZ 2(P) Predicted TT 25-May
Discussion:
The circle above is plotted at the expected 51 km diameter of Euryanthe. With only one chord it is not possible to determine whether Brian was north or south of the central line of the event. However, assuming the updated prediction was approximately correct the it would suggest that the chord might lie close to the central portion of the asteroid. The time was about 18 seconds later than predicted.
