Which mechanism limits astrolabe accuracy locating celestial objects?

💡 Explanation

Position estimation has errors because parallax introduces angular uncertainty between observer and scale divisions – called PARALLAX ERROR – therefore graduation imperfections degrade readings, rather than seasonal plate warping which would create systematic predictable shifts.
