Irmintraud occultation - 2008 June 16

Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 96 km diameter of Irmintraud. With only one chord it is not possible to determine whether Steve was north or south of the central line of the event. However, assuming the updated prediction was approximately correct it would suggest that the chord might lie on the southern portion of the asteroid and that the prediction was very accurate.
