Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 80 km diameter of Alphonsina. With only one chord it is not possible to determine whether Chris was north or south of the central line of the event, so the circle has been plotted on the predicted path.

The figure below shows the Tangra light curve of the occultation.
