Product Information

Using multiple exposures with automatic registration, DWARF II stacks the images into a bright, clear picture. Hassle-Free Setup and Control with Your Mobile App, Connect your smartphone/tablet with DWARF II via WiFi, Bluetooth 4. Whether you're an amateur astronomer, bird watcher, wildlife photographer, or a photography enthusiast aiming to capture distant subjects like a ball game or a galaxy, DWARF II is the perfect solution for you. The Classic edition includes a DWARF II, a carrying bag, a tripod, a replaceable battery and a 64GB microSD card.

Large open star clusters like the Double Cluster, the Andromeda Galaxy, and the Veil Nebula are good examples of the kinds of targets that will produce satisfactory images through the Dwarf II. However I think there is a good market for it as it is both terrestrial and night time, extremely portable and overall very ubiquitous. When it comes to resolution, the Dwarf II’s telephoto lens has an 8-megapixel sensor, which translates to an image dimension of approximately 3264 x 2448 pixels. It works well for imaging nebulae with the Dwarf II, slightly decreasing the background sky glow, but it is fairly useless with a standard telescope eyepiece. These images are way beyond what you'd expect from a little telescope you can easily hold in your hand.Auto stacking - multiple stacked images make the object clearer and clearer until the finished astrophoto appears. If you get serious, you'll invest in more conventional equipment, but for starting this is a good piece of kit and quite flexible. The live stacking gradually combines multiple short exposures into a single image, and you can see the brightness and detail progressively build up with each frame. Great Bird Watching Companion: DWARF II is not just for astronomy, it's also a great companion for bird watching. We will collect the Import Fees Deposit at the time of your purchase and use it to cover applicable taxes and duties on import.

telescope eyepiece or star diagonal will likely work for a short while but will allow UV rays from the Sun through, which damage your retina. The whole telescope, with a battery inside, can charge from a USB-C cable and power source (not supplied). Obviously, that’s a bit of an extreme use case, but you should be able to point this telescope at the Sun on a pleasant day without problems at the very least. Think of it kind of like a security camera with a better lens and the ability to point anywhere you want. Through the wide-angle camera, you can take pictures/videos as a normal camera, or preview the field of view.

Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). These problems are exacerbated by the Dwarf II’s tendency to overheat, which also causes the telescope/app to become unresponsive.

Once connected, you can utilise the DWARFLAB App, available for both Android and iOS devices, to seamlessly control DWARF II and capture pictures and videos. You have access to the individual fits files if you want to stack and process on Mac or pc, but the dwarf does a pretty good job with the levels being edited in Snapseed or similar on my phone. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.If you polar align the scope, field rotation won't be an issue, and the Dwarf II will still nicely stack your images. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Being on an alt-azimuth mount with fairly low resolution stepper ticks, the Dwarf II will have issues with field rotation over periods longer than about 30 minutes of stacked exposures.
