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

Please note, 365Astronomy offers only the Deluxe bundle at the moment as we believe that most customers would sooner or later buy the additional accessories anyway. Depending on the demand and customer interest, we might decide to offer the Classic edition and the optional accessories separately in the future. Dwarf II Features Versatile to Take Shots of DSO, Birds and Animals Not to be confused with the best computerized telescopes, smart telescopes are motorized and come equipped with both artificial intelligence (AI) and camera sensors. They use AI to align themselves with the night sky, providing apps that make it easy to ‘go to’ any object you want at the touch of a button. However, what makes the best smart telescopes so addictive is that they also take incredible images of all kinds of objects in the night sky. There's a rumour that DwarfLab will be selling a 2x telephoto lens but I don't know how true that is. It would help with things like M57 which is quite small in the field of view. I understand that Dwarf III is also in the pipeline but if that happens I hope the developers will continue to support Dwarf II - I think they will, they seem very customer orientated. I love the Dwarf , but the presenters even described the interface as "rough" . Maybe the software should have been perfected before releasing it . After all the new interface does look better . Its just a shame about the limited target list . ( yes i know we can enter co-ordinates but thats fidly and time consuming and something that goes against the concept of simplicity of the product for the user )

Thats enough philosophising for a Bank Holiday and, besides, I suspect the 90 day monsoon is about to hit SW England… The Deluxe edition includes all items that are included in the Classic edition, plus one extra battery, one UHC filter, two ND (solar) filters and a filter adapter.Are you an amateur astronomer, bird watcher, wildlife photographer, or just a photography enthusiast that needs to capture things you can’t get close enough to like a ball game? Well, DWARF II is exactly what you need. Versatile to Take Shots of DSO, Birds and Animals

We also measure the Power with our systems which is essentially the error from the reference sphere to the test optic. The reference sphere we use on our system is a very high quality sphere so the closer to zero the Power, the less error between the 2 elements thus ensuring a higher quality optical surface. Also they are updating the list of targets to , wait for it , 500 objects !!!! assuming 250 of those will be in the southern hemisphere , thats 250 for us in the NH . Telescope mirrors and lenses need to be aligned to give a nice sharp image. The process of getting them aligned is known as collimation – which you can think of as an essential step, like having to tune a guitar before you play it. Collimating is usually only essential with telescopes that have mirrors in them such as reflectors or catadioptric telescopes. In this article, I am going to show you how it works and compare it to the other smart telescopes on the market. I spent much of yesterday persuading my iPhone and Android tablet to communicate with the DWII, then updating its firmware (using the tablet)…got there in the end.

Slightly fiddly processes: The setup and calibration processes are pretty easy to follow but they are not seamless. It will be interesting, though, to see the Dwarf 2 actually come out and what people can do with them. Controlled by your smartphone, they scan the skies, ask you what you want to look at, take you to it, and send the image straight to your phone.

DWARF II has two cameras, a wide-angle camera, and a telephoto camera. Through the wide-angle camera, you can take pictures/videos as a normal camera, or preview the field of view. Find the target in the middle of the wide-angle view, then the telephoto camera is aiming your target. And the telephoto image is always at a fixed place (near the center ) of the wide-angle image. But for astrophotography, smart telescopes are really disrupting a pursuit that had a relatively high barrier to entry in terms of the money you needed to spend and the amount you had to learn.

We are committed to providing a reliable and efficient delivery service for our valued customers.The Indigo link below has a bit more info on the Dwarf 2 along with some additional pictures of its Astro-use. The Dwarf 2 should be an evolution of the original Dwarf telescope adding some additional features. Not good for planetary imaging: The short focal length does not lend itself to planetary photography. Deep sky astrophotography is its specialist field. Unlike some of the best telescopes for astrophotography, smart telescopes are easy for beginners to use. They also use cutting-edge astrophotography techniques, to locate faint objects in the night sky and then take long exposure images of them, merging one on top of the other to remove noise, battle the problem of light pollution and improve the image quality.

DWARF II is a compact smart telescope with dual camera and AI power. You can take shots of deep sky objects, Galaxy and Nebula. Watch and record videos of birds and animals. The Classic edition includes a DWARF II, a carrying bag, a tripod, a replaceable battery and a 64GB microSD card.The Widescreen Centre are also selling these in the UK. Hopefully, in time, they will sell the accessories also. I wonder what SkyWatcher, Celestron are thinking…? Connect your smartphone/tablet with DWARF II via WiFi, then you can wirelessly control DWARF II through DWARFLAB App (available in Android & iOS) and take pictures/videos. We will provide API and developer documentation, so you can even run your own programs on DWARF II. Are you an amateur astronomer, bird watcher, wildlife photographer, or just a photography enthusiast that wants to capture things you can’t get close enough to, like a ball game or a galaxy? Well, DWARF II is exactly what you need. What's in the Box - DWARF II Deluxe Bundle: The shape of the DWARF II is special. Because we use a periscope structure to lower the center of its gravity and enhance its stability. This structure makes DWARF II look different from other telescopes. A great way to see if collimation is the problem is to point the telescope at a bright star and adjust the focus so that the star is out of focus and showing as a big blob. Look closely and you will see a bright outer ring surrounding a dark central disc. If the dark disc is not in the center of the bright ring then the optics are not aligned and you need to collimate.
