Featuring both wide and narrow focus and exposures of up to five minutes to welcome deep-sky light, the DRACO Smart Telescope from DwarfLab captures dramatic celestial images in an easy, intuitive way.
This portable device comes with its own small tripod and does the work of finding and tracking nebulae, galaxies, star clusters, and planets for you, so you can concentrate on discovering and experiencing the dramatic sights.
Emission filters, image-stacking, free-angle framing, and editing tools help you capture vivid images.. As with most smart telescopes, imagery is viewed on your paired phone or tablet.
