Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected diameter of Hildebrand. With only one chord it is not possible to tell if Jonathan was east or west of the centre line of the event. The circle has been plotted centred on the observed chord.

The figure below shows the Tangra light curve of the occultation.
