Few fields, such as astrometry, are purely astronomy rather than also astrophysics.

The precise measurement of stellar positions is part of the discipline of astrometry.

Astrometry is responsible for the detection of many record-breaking solar system objects.

Eisner and his team used a technique called spectro-astrometry to boost resolution even more.

It relies on the mathematical methods of spherical geometry and the measurements of astrometry.

His cataloguing of 3222 stars was refined in 1807 by Friedrich Bessel, the father of modern astrometry.

A fundamental aspect of astrometry is error correction.

- The branch of astronomy that deals with the measurement of the position and motion of celestial bodies
- The careful, precise measurement of astronomical objects, usually made with respect to standard catalogues of star positions. For comet orbit computations, astrometry good to 1" or 2" (1 or 2 arc seconds), or better, is the standard nowadays.
- The measurement of the angular positions of stars. This is an alternative method of detecting an exoplanet using the star's wobble. Instead of measuring the velocity of wobble one measures the position of the wobble.
