Klytaemnestra occultation - 2009 August 02

Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 77 km diameter of Klytaemnestra. With no positive chords we cannot say where the actual path was, so the circle has been plotted on the predicted path.

Comments: Star was quite faint, slight flickering caused starlight to spread out then reform giving the illusion of  disappearance/reappearance which happened at times well before the event and was carefully  anticipated during the event, I am confident that this was a miss.
