Stoefller was born in 1452. When late in life he became professor of mathematics at T~ibingen, he already enjoyed a virtual monopoly with the ephemerides prepared by himself and Jacob Pflaum; these had continued through 1531 those of Regiomontanus. At Tübingen he extended his calculations to 1551, and these were published there posthumously in 1531.
At about the same time that Stoeffler died (1530), Johannes Stadius was born (1527). In the 1560s Stadius taught mathematics at Louvain, and later he worked in Paris. Stadius was the first computer to adopt the Copernican parameters for a major ephemeris. His own tables were, in effect, the successors to Stoeffler's, and their users included Tycho Brahe. […] the error patterns of Stadius closely resemble those of Maestlin, Magini, Origanus, and others who followed the Copernican parameters

In the Regiomontanus and Stoeftler ephemerides, the error in longitude for Mars is sometimes as large as 5°
[…] However, in 1625, the Copernican errors for Mars reached nearly 5°
