3(P) Prediction 5 April
Discussion:
The circle above is plotted at the expected 143 km diameter of Isolda.
With only one chord it is not possible to determine whether Patrick was north
or south of the central line of the event.
There is a hint of a possible double star in the D of
light curve below but, with only 3 points in the step this could
equally be noise consistent with the lead in, and would need additional chords to confirm.
The figures below shows the Limovie lightcurve of the occultation.
