The attached file is a map with our latest update. Note that being a member of the Haumea orbital cluster 1995 SM55 has almost certainly a very high geometric albedo and we expect its effective diameter to be even smaller than the value of 273 km used for the shadow path width (Vilenius et al. 2018). This makes the detection of this event tougher than what might seem, so a wide participation inside and outside the predicted path is encouraged. Note that the dashed lines in the attached plot represent the orbit uncertainty, not the update uncertainty, which is significantly smaller.
If you plan to observe, we kindly ask you to register your intended participation at the Tubitak portal using this link:
