In my Honors class we were discussing about Tycho Brahe and the fact that he was one of the first scientists to consider instrument calibration as an important component of any observation. A student asked how he calibrated his instruments. I said I did not know but I suggested he might have used Polaris for calibration. Can you point me out to a source that addresses exactly how he performed his calibration? Thanks.
