Really good product!

Disappointed in lack of printed instructions. Not as easy to use as advertised.
Still struggling with figuring it out. The product needs to have a lightweight tripod extendable to waist height for ease of use. Can I return the instrument please?

The Dwarflab Dwarf II is a fantastic piece of equipment, but as a beginner in astronomy and photography, I find myself relying on piece-meal YouTube videos to try to figure out the settings for simple things like viewing the moon. Living in an area where clear nights are rare, I'm just not getting enough time for trial and error. Reddit is a help, but there should be a more comprehensive. easy-to-find user guide. Otherwise this would be a 5-star review.

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

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.

Easy Control with Your Mobile Device

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.

Note: Please ensure that your phone/tablet supports Bluetooth 4.0 & WiFi 5GHz

Dual Camera System

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. 

Auto Star Tracking & Stacking for Astrophotography

Due to Earth’s rotation, the stars move slowly in the sky. DWARF II can automatically track the stars. It can rotate around the altitude and azimuth along the movement of stars. DWARF II uses a field-rotation-correction algorithm to avoid the field rotation. Then you can use DWARF II to track deep-sky objects with long exposure time. Automatic registration after multiple exposures, DWARF II stacks the images into a bright and clear image. It helps you to record deep-sky objects easily.

AI Powered Object Recognition and Tracking

Whether it's a bird or a ball player, DWARF II's neural network processing unit (NPU) automatically recognizes and tracks the movement of your chosen subject. If the action slows down, you're one click away from zooming-in for a closer look. Our panoramic and telephoto lenses are always kept in sync and our app enables one-click switching between them. 

Compact, Portable, Powerful

Weighing in at 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs) you can take DWARF II anywhere, in its custom-padded bag or in a backpack.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

It consists of the following three steps: Automatic calibration. DWARF II will automatically shoot 3 images of the sky, and based on these 3 images, the current attitude, tilt, and orientation of the DWARF II can be calculated. GOTO. DWARF II integrates the star atlas, confirming the star to be observed, and it can read the coordinates of the star and point it directly. Tracking. The trajectory of each star in the star atlas has been solved in DWARF II, allowing the star can be automatically tracked.

Based on the parameters of the camera, DWARF II is suitable for the DSOs whose angular size is above 15 arc minutes and the apparent magnitude is below 9, such as NGC2264, NGC5128, NGC6960, NGC1499, M6, M7, M8, M16, M17, M20, M41, M42, M44, M45, M81, M101, IC4604. As long as the cumulative exposure time is long enough and the sky tracking is stable, the weak signals of the nebula can be accumulated, and a variety of nebulae can be photographed. 

Yes, DWARF II supports TIFF RAW fomat.
