← HistoryWhich optical consequence arose when astrolabe sights were misaligned?
A)Increased chromatic aberration effects
B)Reduced instrument angular resolution✓
C)Internal component thermal expansion
D)Celestial sphere projection distortion
💡 Explanation
Reduced angular resolution occurred, when instrument sights were misaligned because the **parallax effect** introduced significant measurement errors; therefore accuracy decreased rather than causing noticeable chromatic aberration or component thermal variations, which relate to different failure modes.
