Slightly below the middle of this picture the trailed image of minor planet (340) Eduarda can be seen. Eduarda was discovered at 25.9.1892 in Heidelberg by Max Wolf and was named after Eduard von Lade, the founder of the institute of fruit- and wine-growing in Geisenheim.
Two days before a meeting at todays' University of Applied Sciences of Geisenheim attended by members of the AAR, the minor planet was recorded at 14.5 mag in the constellation Taurus.
