← HistoryWhich drawback became notable as improved astrolabes enabled finer angular resolution?
A)Aberration effects of lens grinding
B)Precession calculation complexities increase
C)Manufacture tooling inaccuracy amplifies✓
D)Star catalog reference epoch limitations
💡 Explanation
Tooling inaccuracies amplified as instruments improved, because the Moiré effect arises from tiny offsets appearing relatively much worse when observing with high-resolution astrolabes; therefore, more sophisticated manufacturing processes were needed, rather than simple refinement of the star position data itself.
