History

Which limitation arises when an astrolabe's alidade is manufactured with imperfect axial alignment to the mater's central pivot?

A)Increased systematic measurement error angle
B)Unwanted increased celestial sphere precession
C)Elevated required celestial object luminosity
D)Decreased instrument resistance thermal deformation

💡 Explanation

Systematic measurement error increases because *parallax error* introduces an angular discrepancy between the observed and true celestial position; therefore precision is directly negatively impacted, rather than brightness requirements or thermal stability.
