Which limitation was encountered when early Islamic astronomers attempted to improve astrolabe accuracy using higher magnification lenses?

💡 Explanation

When lenses with higher magnification were employed, chromatic aberration occurs because different wavelengths of light refract differently through the lens material, producing blurry color fringes. Therefore, the accurate pinpointing of celestial objects was confounded, rather than material limits, or resolution constraints which were separate engineering challenges.
