            Bug ID: 439221
           Summary: Incorrect calculation of camera field of view
           Product: kstars
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Other
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com
          Reporter: fred_...@hotmail.fr
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

The returned value for the camera field of view is wrong when the focal length
is short.

OBSERVED RESULT
- Canon 6D mk II pixel pitch of 5,67 um and 6240x4160 px
- 24 mm lens

Returns :  84,47 x 56.31°

This is completely wrong

EXPECTED RESULT

73,6° x 53,1°

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Apparently your logic is to multiply the pixel sampling by the number of
pixels. If this is a good approximation when the focal length is at least 10x
bigger than the sensors size, it completely fails otherwise.

The formula that gives the proper result each time (but fisheyes) is :

fov = 2*atan[L/(2*F)]
