[...] the project of determining the parallax of the Pleiades is not altogether hopeless.
Agnes M. Clerke (1893) The Observatory, 16, 198
I have been in astronomy so long that I don't really
believe astronomical distances are much good.

Question: how to measure the distance to the Pleiades, independently of trigonometric parallaxesand/or stellar evolution ?
Answer: find a double-lined spectroscopic and eclipsing binary. This yields all orbital and physical parameters !

Summary
Outstanding Pro-Am collaboration
The distance to the Pleiades is not quite settled yet ! The 1% precision barrier not broken
HD 23642 as a fundamental calibrator for SB2+EBs Importance of systematics
Need for more observations, esp. in the IR (K-band)

Interferometric orbit of Atlas
Must assume a mass-luminosity relation to get the distance range
133-137 pc
Somewhat circular argument: requires astrophysical inputs
and so gets MS distance
