Which limiting behavior occurs when an astrolabe is physically deformed?

💡 Explanation

Deformation changes the alignment of the astrolabe's components, leading to a parallax error; this is because the stereographic projection mechanism relies on precise angular relationships between parts across the face of the astrolabe; therefore accurate altitude measurements become impossible, rather than having improved star visibility.
