The determination of secular parallaxes of stars is usually based on meridian observations of proper motions of bright stars, this introducing known systematic errors. The mean parallaxes of stars can be obtained by means of radial velocities which are known for the bright stars. The more perspective method, the reference of stars to galaxies, is not applicable at low galactic latitudes.
