I have purchased a DwarfLAB Dwarf 3 telescope since we have very dark skies in Williams, AZ. The telescope is amazingly small and fully integrated with the app on a phone or tablet. Very little knowledge is needed to get started to get very good astronomic pictures. the telescope can also be used during the day to image the sun or as a camera with very high zoom and many features like following an animal automatic when recording a video.
The first picture was of the sun. you need to add "sunglasses" to the telescope before imaging the sun. The telescope is tracking the sun and automatically keeping it centered in the frame. The sunspots are clearly visible.
Since the moon was also visible was the next target clear.
Multiple pictures can be stacked to give a better quality picture and more details. Again is the telescope tracking the moon to keep it in the frame when taking multiple exposures.
I tested the telescope taking pictures of small things in a distance. The grass is very sharp and in focus.
When the dark arrived could I use the telescope for its main purpose. From the app can you select an object in the sky and the telescope turn automatically and show the object selected with no setup except placing in on a level surface. My first target was the swan nebula. This photo is only based on stacking around 20 15 second pictures. During the capture is the pictures stacked and the result is slowly building on your screen.
I also picked other objects, here is a small nebula.
The last picture was a scheduled picture of the Andromeda galaxy. The recording was timed to automatically start at 1:30 AM and go for 2 hours. Everything worked perfect and the picture is amazing. The picture is 480 15 second exposures combined. All the stacking of pictures and corrections are done by the telescope and you just get presented with amazing pictures.
