Klio occultation - 2010 August 24

Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 79 km diameter of Klio. With no positive chords we cannot say where the actual path was, so the circle has been plotted on the predicted path. Sadly J Drummond, Gisborne, NZ who was close to predicted line was clouded out.
