Which outcome results when the observer uses an astrolabe at non-standard latitude?

💡 Explanation

Incorrect latitude alignment in astrolabes leads to incorrect angular altitude readings because Zenith Distance Calculation relies upon accurate latitude input for deriving the correct altitude. Therefore, celestial altitudes are distorted, rather than systematic error cancellation or parallax shifts.
