The DWARF 3 boasts significant upgrades in optics, sensors, and processors, ensuring crystal-clear images with every shot. Its 35mm aperture apochromatic lens and periscope design enhance light-gathering capabilities by 116% compared to previous models. The telescope's multiple extra-low dispersion (ED) lenses are optimized to the diffraction limit, providing detailed and dazzling views of the stars.

Equipped with the SONY IMX 678 STARVIS 2 sensor, the DWARF 3 offers high sensitivity and low noise performance, with a 90.24% increase in pixel size, reaching 2µm. This allows for longer shutter times with minimal noise interference. The telescope also features three built-in filters: VIS, Astro, and Dual-Band, covering a range from 430-690nm, ideal for both daytime and low-light photography.

The DWARF 3 supports output in JPG, PNG, FITS, and TIFF formats, providing flexibility for post-processing. Its AI-powered noise reduction ensures clarity and texture, even in less-than-ideal conditions.

DWARFLAB App

Designed for ease of use, the DWARF 3 offers one-click shooting through the new DWARFLAB App, making it perfect for beginners. The app includes a Sky Atlas and daily target recommendations, allowing users to quickly identify and capture worthy celestial objects. For advanced users, manual adjustments are available for precise control.

The DWARF 3 also introduces an Astro Plan feature, allowing users to schedule astrophotography sessions in advance. This feature automates the process, enabling users to capture the night sky from the comfort of their bed and wake up to stunning images.

Additional features include NFC connection for instant setup, a multi-language app, and background imaging capabilities. The telescope is also IP54-rated, ensuring resistance to dust, moisture, and dew for optimal performance in various climate conditions.

The DWARF 3 smart telescope combines portability, advanced technology, and user-friendly features, making it an exceptional tool for both amateur and seasoned astronomers. Pre-order now to explore the universe like never before.
