stellar parallax was made by Friedrich Bessel in 1838 for the star 61 Cygni using a Fraunhofer
heliometer at Königsberg Observatory

heliometer . The observatory was destroyed by

heliometer , ordered from Repsold and Sons by H. A. Newton in 1880, delivered in time for measurements

heliometer to determine the mass of Saturn using the orbit of Titan His results confirmed Bessel's measurement.
