Nanon occultation__ 2014 November 07

Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 82 km diameter of Nanon. With only one chord it is not possible to determine whether Tony was north or south of the central line of the event. However, Dave's constraining miss we can be confident of the path of Nanon and that it was well south of the predicted line.

The figure below shows the Limovie light curve of Tony's observation.
