DWARFLAB Dwarf II Smart Digital Telescope - Portable, Ultralight, and Packed with Advanced Features for Astronomy Star Parties, Birding, for Adults and Kids, Beginners and Advanced Players (Classic)

Product Information

You will not be able to tell fully since you are essentially looking at heavily scaled down images (essentially from 8 megapixels down to around 0. When it's time to pack up, everything goes in the well-made included case: telescope, filters, batteries, tripod. The joystick pointing of the Dwarf II is again unprecedented and is a lot cooler than the right-angle or diagonal angles of hand controllers or most other smart device-to-telescope interfaces. The Classic edition comes complete with a DWARF II, a carrying bag, a tripod, a replaceable battery, and a 64GB microSD card. It tracks using automatic image recognition, so it does not really matter if you manually grab or jostle it as long as it is not taking a long exposure.

In addition to the issues we’ve already mentioned, it sometimes fails to connect to the telescope, gets stuck between “astronomy” and “regular” camera modes, freezes/crashes, or sends the telescope flailing wildly about when you try to aim the joystick. Unlike full-fledged astrophotography rigs from the likes of Vaonis or misleading advertising like the Unistellar eVscope, the Dwarf II is a modest little device, offering less than one inch of aperture in a form factor that would easily fit in a purse. The Dwarf II autofocused (there's manual focus too), and I could see good detail on the surface of the moon, even the bright crater Tycho and some of its rays. The telescope is equipped with a 24mm lens and an IMX415 sensor with a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels.

Zane has owned over 425 telescopes, of which around 400 he has actually gotten to take out under the stars. Generally, the higher the Strehl ratio, the lower the Astigmatism and Coma meaning a better image quality from your instrument. If you’ve already done that, your item hasn’t arrived, or it’s not as described, you can report that to Etsy by opening a case. Continue reading for an explanation of the individual values and you can also see a test report that was done on one of our RVO Horizon 60 OTAs. Any safe white light solar filter (including the ones supplied with the Dwarf II) must go on the FRONT end of the telescope.

This wireless functionality enhances the convenience and accessibility of your telescope control and imaging experience. DwarfLab claims both are running off SONY IMX415 Starvis sensors, with the wide-angle lens just compressing (binning) the pixels into larger ones. The “UHC” filter provided with the Dwarf II can screw onto the filter holder in front of either the telephoto or wide-angle objectives. When identifying a target in the centre of the wide-angle view, the telephoto camera aligns itself with the chosen target.Personalised advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under California and other state privacy laws, and you may have a right to opt out. Its compact and lightweight design enhances convenience and ensures that you can enjoy celestial observations and photography wherever your adventures take you. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.

The alt-azimuth and low-resolution nature of the mount’s tracking, combined with a lack of guiding or balance and the often too-light tripods used below the telescope, mean that you are going to get trailing in any long-exposure astrophotos. It's not high resolution (My telescope has a 60 MP camera), but for someone starting out or a young would be astrophotographer it's a great place to start. I mean, it's not for us, but compared to something like the stellina its a cery good deal seems to me. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed that in addition to software bugs, the Dwarf II seems to have heat management issues. The pictures shown in the site are from bortle 4, which is much, much better than the average sky condition for most so those examples are more of an upper limit than your average consumers shot.This feature lets you enjoy the flow of time in nature photography, making it a great tool for capturing the beauty of the terrestrial landscape. If you’d like to file an allegation of infringement, you’ll need to follow the process described in our Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy. Experience how the Orion Nebula grows into a gigantic structure, how the spiral arms wind themselves around the Whirlpool Galaxy, or how the open Perseus double cluster reveals hundreds of sparkling stars. This capability enhances the quality of your observations and imaging, particularly when capturing celestial objects over prolonged periods.

These solar filters are definitely not safe for actually looking through in any capacity, including with your unaided eye. Are you an amateur astronomer, bird watcher, wildlife photographer, or a photography enthusiast wanting to capture things you can’t get close enough to, like a ball game or a galaxy? Once you locate your target in the wide-angle view, the telephoto camera aligns with it, always staying fixed near the center of the wide-angle image.When we test your telescope, we will ensure that it is of the highest quality otherwise, we will reject the scope under our strict quality control and test another model for your peace of mind. Sort of but even a modest 3 inch refractor with a CMOS camera can easily out perform the Palomar 200 inch scope with its photographic plates, who knows what technology will come next.
