Im now wonder why the field-of-view of your image appears quite small, unless Im missing something, have you cropped the resulting image after processing, or has the Dwarf 2 some Pre-Sets when capturing. like optical zoom or Region of Interest or scaling effect adjustments ?
Cheers..
The Dwarf II does have a 100mm F/L.
The field of view of the image is about 3 x 2 degrees, which I think is quite reasonable.
The image is not cropped, but resized to 1000 x 563 from 3840 x 2160 pixels and compressed to get it down to the 200K image limit.

Can you tell me why you think the FoV is small and compared to what?
