Which outcome occurs when an astrolabe's alidade rotates excessively during observation?

💡 Explanation

Parallax error causes reduced angular accuracy because incorrect alignment with the target increases with rotation; the observer's line of sight deviates from correct celestial position, therefore angular measurements are inaccurate; rather than mechanical failures.
