Original – Astronomer Margaret Harwood, first director of the Maria Mitchell Observatory in Nantucket, Massachusetts. She also discovered 886 Washingtonia, but:

An astronomer lass from Nantucket
Found an asteroid, but Harvard said "Chuck it!
No astronomer dame
Such credit may claim!"
(But I say that Harvard can suck it.)

Reason
While slightly undersize, the film grain is larger, so no detail is lost. Quite a good photo otherwise. I've tweaked the crop a bit - extended the right and cropped the left - to try and centre the image a bit better.
