I don't think that's all. A friend and I spent half an hour debating whether an object was the moon or a huge billboard, because it was aligned with a building on the horizon. But I took a picture and it wasn't nearly big enough to span the roof of the building we were looking at.
So that would be an argument for the focal length of the cameras being relevant I thimk? That seems rather plausible.
