As I understand it, a Coude system is an elongated Cassegrain in which the beam is reflected through as many flat mirrors as needed to a stationary instrument. This instrument is typically a spectrometer which is too big and heavy to be carried by the telescope...
The first person to succeed at measuring the distance to a star using the parallax method was German astronomer Friedrich Bessel in 1838. Based on his observations, Bessel calculated that the star61 Cygni, one of the stars in theCygnus constellation, must be about 10 light-years away from Ear...
