Amherstia occultation - 2011 April 18

Discussion:

The ellipse above is plotted at the best fit to the 3 chords. With 3 chords we can be confident of the path of Amherstia and that it was south of the predicted line.
The Damit 3D models below have been overlaid on the measured ellipse. The two models are both a reasonable fit but neither is significantly better than the other so we cannot be sure which orientation is correct.
