Force hard shadows

Hi, I'm using a daylight object with a shadow cast from a faraway object (this needs to be for various reasons):

Wide


I noticed that the shadow edge is soft, even with the sun size turned all the way down:

Close


Is there a way to force this to be hard without moving the object nearer?

Thanks

Hi,
since it is a Physical Sky, the behavior is expected, and depends on the height of the object / length of its shadow.
Please, look at this real life photo:
