In literature:
It is not necessary for two observers to actually station themselves at two distant parts of the earth in order to determine a parallax.

In such a case, no matter how near the stars were to the earth, no parallax could be detected.
"The Story of the Heavens" by Robert Stawell Ball
When the altitude is highest there is no parallax.
"Lectures in Navigation" by Ernest Gallaudet Draper
In some, however, the parallax, though very minute, is yet approximately measurable.

Parallax errors are avoided.

Much success has been achieved in ascertaining the parallax of fixed stars.

From the day that K. I. returned, my life has been like the parallax of a fever!
"The Dodd Family Abroad, Vol. I.(of II)" by Charles James Lever
Parallax aids in the perception of depth or distance.
"Visual Illusions" by Matthew Luckiesh
Observations of stellar parallax, however, show that this was a mistake.
"Astronomy with an Opera-glass" by Garrett Putman Serviss
For semi-diameter and also for refraction and parallax, -9'.
"My Attainment of the Pole" by Frederick A. Cook
That angle is called the sun's parallax.
"Scientific American Supplement, No. 648, June 2, 1888." by Various
In other words, he sought to find the star's parallax if it turned out to be a measurable quantity.
"Astronomy" by David Todd
He computed the moon's parallax to be 57', which is about its correct value.
"Astronomical Curiosities" by J. Ellard Gore
It is plain, from the figure, that near objects are much more affected by parallax than distant ones.

Yet, questions still arise, partly because users are seeing other distortions that sometimes make adjusting for parallax confusing.
Recognizing these distortions as not belonging to parallax might make the exercise less frustrating.

Using Hipparcos parallaxes Jaschek & G´omez 1998 have calculated MV for some MK standards.
A revised calibration of the Mv-W(OI 7774) relationship using Hipparcos data: Its application to Cepheids and evolved stars
Hipparcos parallaxes alone can be used to derive distances if the value of the parallax is larger than 5 times the error of the parallax value.
A revised calibration of the Mv-W(OI 7774) relationship using Hipparcos data: Its application to Cepheids and evolved stars
As in paper I we adopted MV = −1.0 from parallax value.

The ob ject may move because it has sufficiently large proper motion or trigonometric parallax.
A simple method of correcting magnitudes for the errors introduced by atmospheric refraction
Distance estimates are determined using a suite of new photometric color-MK s relations defined using a robust set of nearby stars with accurate V RI J HKs photometry and trigonometric parallaxes.
The Solar Neighborhood X: New Nearby Stars in the Southern Sky and Accurate Photometric Distance Estimates for Red Dwarfs
Of those without accurate trigonometric parallax measurements, there are five stars in the first sample and three in the second that are likely to be within 10 pc.
The Solar Neighborhood X: New Nearby Stars in the Southern Sky and Accurate Photometric Distance Estimates for Red Dwarfs
We also provide a detailed check of the technique by applying it to the sample of very red dwarfs with parallaxes.
The Solar Neighborhood X: New Nearby Stars in the Southern Sky and Accurate Photometric Distance Estimates for Red Dwarfs
Trigonometric parallaxes have been collected from the two fundamental parallax references, the Yale Parallax Catalog (van Altena et al. 1995) and Hipparcos (ESA 1997).
The Solar Neighborhood X: New Nearby Stars in the Southern Sky and Accurate Photometric Distance Estimates for Red Dwarfs
Of course, trigonometric parallaxes for additional ob jects (including many of those investigated here) and photometry would allow the improvement of the photometric relation matrix, in particular for the stars with types later than M7.0V.
The Solar Neighborhood X: New Nearby Stars in the Southern Sky and Accurate Photometric Distance Estimates for Red Dwarfs
Additional data on the reddest dwarfs (trigonometric parallaxes in particular) should determine which is the true cause.
The Solar Neighborhood X: New Nearby Stars in the Southern Sky and Accurate Photometric Distance Estimates for Red Dwarfs
Of the 22 other red dwarfs discussed here that have no accurate trigonometric parallaxes, we find that 10 are likely to be closer than 10 pc.
