"...assuming the camera is mounted high enough off the ground to cope with Earth’s curvature" Erm, without getting into THAT discussion; wouldn't this be the case even if the plane was completely flat due to perspective? You know, things further away tend to get smaller and disappear behind closer features. What disappears due to curvature is more or less lost, I can't see building a higher tower helping much. Edit: Can't even mention curvature without being hell-voted. I'll just note that I'm not the one with issues here, I posed an honest question about a technical detail.
