Which positional outcome occurs when observing stars through a warped astrolabe?

A)Observed altitude appears systematically shifted
B)Star visibility gradually decreases overnight
C)Ecliptic plane appears perfectly horizontal
D)Local time correlates poorly with star position

💡 Explanation

A warped astrolabe introduces angular errors due to MANUFACTURING DEVIATION; measurements are skewed via OPTICAL MISALIGNMENT, because the alidade points to the wrong altitude. Therefore, altitude shifts rather than affecting star visibility, ecliptic alignment, or time correlations.
