Of possible interest to NavListers, Scott Manley has a video on measuring lunar parallax using photography and a long baseline:
By the way, along these lines there's a nice book called "Astronomical Discoveries You Can Make, Too!: Replicating the Work of the Great Observers". Observing projects using naked eye, camera, telescope, with an emphasis on first principles and the distance ladder.
Cheers,
Peter
