Drizzle‐reconstructed (0﹩\farcs﹩23 pixel−1) WFPC2 F656N image of the ER from Sugerman et al. (2002). The best‐fit ellipse to the observed ER (Table 2) is indicated with the thick dotted line. The projected position of an ellipse oriented by the PYR triplet (−16﹩\fdg﹩5, −14°, 41﹩\fdg﹩5) is shown with a thin dashed line, corresponding to the best fit to the hourglass from § 8.1.1. The projected view of the ellipse that best matches the ER from § 8.1.2 oriented by (−9°, −8°, 41°) is indicated by the thin solid line, which nearly exactly matches the thick dotted line.
