Discussion:
The circle above is plotted at the expected 255 km diameter of Euphrosyne.
With only one chord it is not possible to determine whether Brian was north
or south of the central line of the event.
The light curve below has an interesting spike during the event. Careful
review sugests that this is most likely a noise spike that is consistent with
the unocculted trace from both the target and reference stars.
The figures below shows the Limovie light curve of the occultation.
