When using a tarnished brass astrolabe, which outcome degrades astronomical observation accuracy?

💡 Explanation

Reduced alidade sighting occurs because corrosion obscures graduations, causing a parallax MECHANISM of misaligned view vectors which decrease positional precision on the astrolabe plate; therefore angular measurement deteriorates rather than improving precessional calculations which is unaffected.
