Which consequence arises when spherical aberration in medieval astrolabes wasn't minimized?

💡 Explanation

In medieval astrolabes, spherical aberration caused blurred images because off-axis rays converge at different points; therefore, inaccurate star positions were determined, rather than mechanical failure or weight increases, which involved different mechanisms.
