Which limitation constrained ancient mariners using an astrolabe?

💡 Explanation

Astrolabes primarily assisted in measuring latitude; longitude estimation required accurate timekeeping, creating challenging. Dead reckoning was a factor, because positional errors accumulated over distance rather than instantaneous measurements made estimating longitude accurately at sea more difficult.
