JPL#77 : 3ce6d290-ddb3-11f0-547e-d366eaff774d [db: observed]

Using prediction 3ce6d290-ddb3-11f0-547e-d366eaff774d for map and profile fit

Ellipse and circular profile fits to the timings (chords)

Auto-Fit Result: X0,Y0 = -9.3, 3.5 km Circular diameter = 75 km From 2 chords (VID) Chords to ignore: Fill: Grid: Show (close) miss chords: You can enter space separated chord numbers (example: 11 4 8) or a method like VIS to ignore all visual timings, or a time source like RAD and NTP (but not GPS). If the plot disappears, then there are less than 2 chords left (too much ignored, go back with browser). Check SiMDA for size and mass data. Check Johnston Archive for satellites.
