Which outcome results when variations in lens grinding occur during astrolabe production?

💡 Explanation

Incorrect lens grinding alters the light path through refractive elements of the device, because of the refraction mechanism producing asymmetrical aberrations. Therefore, star charts projected show positional distortion, rather than uniform compression or material changes.
