For astrolabes across varying latitudes, which consequence arises with incorrect plate installation?

💡 Explanation

Incorrect plate installation misaligns the altitude scales, thus causing azimuthal errors from stereographic projections. Erroneous time-keeping, rather than physical damage, occurs because it relies on correct angular relationships; therefore, other functions still operate but with lowered fidelity.
