Which outcome arises in medieval astrolabes lacking precise pinhole alignment?

💡 Explanation

Imprecise pinhole alignment affects accurate observation because collimation is disrupted, therefore measured angles are skewed, producing errors in altitude readings in astrolabes, rather than mechanical or chemical disruptions of the device.
