The results presented in ATel #17275 were obtained with two different telescopes. Due to an mistake, we mixed the pixel sizes of the two telescopes, when calculating the projected size of the image. This lead to wrong, overestimated results presented in ATel #17275.
The correct distances are as follows:
along X axis ~ 3400 km
along Y axis ~ 3000 km
photometric aperture radius ~ 8000 km
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
