In 1900 the Permanent International Committee for Photographic Execution of the Sky-map promoted a comprehensive observational programme on the asteroid 433 Eros, in order to determine a new and more accurate value for the solar parallax. Although having but scarce material means, the Astronomical Observatory of Lisbon gave an important contribution to this programme. This was made possible by improvements introduced by the astronomer and instrument maker Campos Rodrigues in the instruments and observational methods then employed at the observatory. This case is presented here from the point of view of the relationship between scientists and the material culture of science.
