Which consequence results when calculating astronomical angles on a damaged brass astrolabe using algebraic approximations, specifically if critical components are misaligned?

💡 Explanation

Significant positional errors accumulate during astronomical calculation of the equant because error propagation magnifies discrepancies via successive algebraic approximations, therefore the user will not obtain valid data, rather than accurate results arising under ideal physical conditions.
