With a sextant on heavy seas, which outcome occurs due to inconsistent angular measurement?

💡 Explanation

Ocean waves induce sextant instability, therefore the measured angle will deviate. A parallax error requires two observing locations and magnetic declination is a compass issue, rather than angular calculations derived from sextant measurements, because the mechanism is instrument instability.
