Brahe did have large quadrants (and armillarys) though, which in this context is not all that different especially when you factor in how much light pollution impacts observations.
Not to take away from Brahes exceptional ability at naked eye observations, but the key here is having some sort of instrument that enables precise measurements, be it telescope on a mount or huge mural quadrant.
