Henrietta occultation__ 2014 October 28

Discussion:

The ellipse above is plotted at the best fit axis ratio as determined by Occult. With 4 chords we can be confident of the path of Henrietta and that it was north of the predicted line. Sadly there is no DAMIT or ISAM model for Henrietta

The figure below shows Steve Quirk's Limovielight curve of the occultation.
