Using the DWARF 3 Telescope for solar imaging is just one of the opportunities available with the new DWARF 3 smart telescope. As part of the ever growing list of robotic telescopes using smart technology, it is a compact telescope controlled by your smartphone under the control of the DWARFLAB App.
The DWARF 3 Smart Telescope is a compact and portable device designed to make astrophotography accessible to enthusiasts of all levels. Weighing approximately 1.3 kg and comparable in size to a dictionary, it is easy to transport and set up in various locations. The telescope features a dual-lens system: a 35 mm aperture telephoto lens with a 150 mm focal length for detailed celestial observations, and a wide-angle lens for panoramic sky views.
Equipped with a Sony IMX678 STARVIS 2 sensor, the DWARF 3 captures high-quality images with enhanced sensitivity and reduced noise, which is particularly beneficial for low-light astrophotography. Built-in filters, including VIS, Astro, and Dual-band, allow users to optimize their imaging for different celestial objects. The telescope’s AI-powered capabilities, such as automatic star-finding, accurate object tracking, and real-time image stacking, simplify the user experience by minimizing the need for manual adjustments.
To use the DWARF 3 you 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 images and videos. The company will also be providing API and developer documentation, so you can even run your own programs on DWARF II.
The built-in filter system, including VIS, Astro, and Dual-band filters, helps optimize contrast and protect the sensor when imaging the Sun. With AI-powered automatic tracking, the DWARF 3 can follow the Sun’s movement throughout the day, ensuring stable imaging without constant manual adjustments. Its real-time stacking capabilities reduce atmospheric distortion, improving image quality for both casual observers and astrophotography enthusiasts.
