Results are presented for an observation of Eros that was performed with a photographic zenith telescope (PZT) on January 14, 1975. The procedure for reducing PZT observations is described in detail, and daily geocentric changes in the right ascension and declination of the asteroid are obtained from apparent positions over seven days by means of numerical differentiation. A mean clock correction and the mean observed latitude are computed along with the apparent topocentric position of Eros at the epoch of January 14.62477235, 1975 UT, with reference to the Tokyo PZT star system. The topocentric mean position of Eros referred to the standard equinox of 1950.0 is then determined.
