Pafuri occultation - 2013 April 28

Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 62 km diameter of Pafuri. With two nearby chords it is not possible to determine whether Dave and Tony were north or south of the central line of the event.
Tony's long integration (2 sec per sample) means that there is high uncetainty in the times and the error bars overlap. The plot has been adjusted to centre between Dave's times. This was the first event with two ADVS units being used and has led to a number of suggestions for recording.

The figure below shows Dave's Tangra light curve of the occultation.
