Which optical consequence would inaccurate lens grinding introduce to a medieval astrolabe sighting device?

💡 Explanation

When lens grinding becomes inaccurate, spherical aberration occurs because outer lens regions focus light at a different point than the center, resulting in a blurred image. Therefore a blurred image from spherical aberration instead chromatic aberration, coma, or astigmatism, resulting from separate optical imperfections.
