10. Which of the four adjustable errors in the sextant is the principle cause of index error?
Index error results from the index mirror and horizon glass not being parallel when the sextant reads zero. This misalignment causes a displacement of the reflected image relative to the direct image, defining index error and distinguishing it from side error, index-mirror error, and collimation error.
