Tina occultation - 2012 October 16

Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 26 km diameter of Tina. With no positive chords we cannot say where the actual path was, so the circle has been plotted on the predicted path.

Note trhe rare case where the potentiual chords are not parallel. This is caused by the observers being spread almost as far as it is possible to be on Earth
