Which outcome occurs when sighting stars at high altitudes using a brass astrolabe?

💡 Explanation

Increased errors occur because distortion increases at extreme angles due to manufacturing tolerances in the instrument's alidade and limb, causing amplified angular *measurement error*. It's error that increases, rather than reduced atmospheric effects as the light path complexity is unchanged by sighting angle.
