DwarfLab DWARF mini Reviews

The Travel Smartscope You NEED

By Patrick
Rated 5 out of 5

I happen to own a SeeStar S30, but even this fine compact telescope can take up some room in a backpack. I wanted something small, really small, that could go in my personal bag on flights, or in a backpack for a quick overnight. Yet something that could take a solid image of the night and allow for some impromptu advocacy and outreach work. The Dwarf Mini appears to be the perfect option. Solid app and interface, excellent performance under light polluted conditions in high bortle areas, and yes, it can go anywhere. I have only imaged twice so far, both short 30ish minute exposures, one of Andromeda and one of the Wizard Nebula. And DANG, excellent from bottle 8.5. They are shared in this review, with the only processing work being done in the app.

Unbelievable for the price

After watching tons of YouTube reviews and videos about this smart telescope I pulled the trigger during a promotion. To date, this smart telescope has exceeded all of my expectations and I love it. It is actually very easy to use, although watching some videos will be more clear than reading through the documentation. I got the hang of EQ mode right away, it is a bit of a fiddle when using a regular pan and tilt tripod, so you will probably eventually want a better mount, but to get started you can use almost any tripod and run in Alt/Azimuth mode - or fiddle until you get an EQ alignment that works. I am so impressed at what you get with this device. It really has everything you need to take some spectacular astro-photos. It really is easy and it seems almost unbelievable that this is a telescope, star atlas, star tracker, image processor, includes tons of storage, has a reasonable learning curve, gives you enough battery to get some great shots. My typical process has been, get the tripod and scope set up outside (2 minutes). Calibrate the scope by pointing at some stars in the sky and letting the software plate solve (2 minutes). Switch to EQ mode, and calibrate (about 6 minutes with some adjusting). Picking a target from the built in catalog, I love how easy it is to find something in the sky that I know is visible. So far I have gotten several galaxies, a nebula, and star cluster. It takes about 3 minutes to pick something and have the Dwarf mini start tracking it. After that I adjust my focus using auto-focus and then set my exposure and gain settings (2 minutes). I can then start the capture and I will let it run for a few hours overnight. I have the app set up on a Samsung tablet and I can watch the image appear and then wait till morning to see what I got. It really is magical to see an image after hundreds of frames have stacked. I use the built in processing to refine the image, and then download a PNG file which I filter with the tablet.
