Which lunar observation error increases when an astrolabe's alidade bends?

💡 Explanation

Erroneous lunar phases result when an alidade is bent because parallax compensation depends upon angular accuracy; therefore lunar phase calculations will be inaccurate, rather than altering star positions significantly as that involves separate scales.
