Brad,
The difference in azimuth is only 0.2* so the two LOPs will be basically parallel. No fix. Just an estimated position. If the Moon were involved (eclipse) then one image would generate two parallel LOPs and a lunar longitude for a true one shot fix. You are thinking of the LOP/ex-meridian single observation fix which has about a 10* azimuth difference (not really a fix but a form of running fix).
