JPL#125 : 6a9b1f30-ddb7-11f0-547e-3f75aa5b64e6 [db: observed]

Using prediction 6a9b1f30-ddb7-11f0-547e-3f75aa5b64e6 for map and profile fit

Ellipse and circular profile fits to the timings (chords)

Auto-Fit Result: Size = 124 x 84 km a',b' = 62.1, 42.1 km X0,Y0 = 2139.9, 23.4 km Mean diameter = 102 km From 5 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.
