Which blurring results when Medieval astrolabes used imperfect lenses?

💡 Explanation

Spherical aberration arises because edges of a lens focus light differently; therefore a focused planar image blurs. This is inherent to lens shape rather than color dispersion (chromatic), Airy disks (diffraction), or off-axis asymmetry (coma).
