Interesting observation...
The 85mm prime according to Astrometry.net gives a 15 x 10 deg FOV with the Canon 1000D.
While studying the FOV around Antares I notice there are spectra recorded from stars ( eps Sco and Mu1 and 2 Sco) obviously well outside this 15 x 10 deg field.
This infers that the coverage of the 85mm prime lens is close to 34 deg!!!!!

Just need a bigger sensor chip!

The attached screen dumps from CdC show the field of view and coverage.
