		Probably the most successful campaign took place in September 2002 when Tercidina covered a star and countless observers across Europe saw it disappear: The shape of the asteroid could be reconstructed from these so-called chords with high quality.
		Addenda: Reports have come in of several successful observations on the Spanish mainland; all observations are listed here, and the shape of the asteroid is building up from the chords.
		Here are also Bredner's report from Mallorca - and a report by Durda on another stellar occultation by Polyxo observed in 2000 from an airplane; the shape of the asteroid could be approximated roughly then from this and groundbased observations.
