The observations underlying the Rudolphine tables were performed by Tycho Brahe and his team. Brahe's measurements were much more accurate than the ones available previously. [ 1 ] He worked with elaborate instruments to determine the precise positions of planets and stars in the sky but did not have a telescope.
