5(P) Prediction
Discussion:
The ellipse above is plotted at the best fit axis ratio as determined by Occult. The area is very close to that of the predicted circle of 123 km diameter. With 4 chords we can be confident of the path of Zelinda and that it was north of the predicted line.
The figure below shows John's Tangra light curve of the occultation.
The figure below shows Peter's Tangra light curve of the occultation.
The figure below shows Graeme's Tangra light curve of the occultation.
The figure below shows Bill's Tangra light curve of the occultation.
