DWARFLAB Dwarf II Smart Digital Telescope - Portable, Ultralight, and Packed with Advanced Features for Astronomy Star Parties, Birding, for Adults and Kids, Beginners and Advanced Players (Classic)

Product Information

If you are looking for a traditional astronomical observing experience, a regular telescope like a large dobsonian would be best for you. I spent much of yesterday persuading my iPhone and Android tablet to communicate with the DWII, then updating its firmware (using the tablet)…got there in the end. The moon was full, so I gave it a try. I thought the picture was good. The Dwarf II autofocused (there's manual focus too), and I could see good detail on the surface of the moon, even the bright crater Tycho and some of its rays.

The Dwarf II provides an internal catalog of interesting objects that are available, and I suggested M13, the great star cluster in the constellation of Hercules. I tapped my selection and the little telescope started moving. To my great surprise, I could see the cluster in the center of the frame. You won’t be winning NASA APODs or Astronomy Photographer of the Year with the images, but neither would you with any of the more expensive smart telescopes.

Please note, 365Astronomy offers only the Deluxe bundle at the moment as we believe that most customers would sooner or later buy the additional accessories anyway. Depending on the demand and customer interest, we might decide to offer the Classic edition and the optional accessories separately in the future. Dwarf II Features Versatile to Take Shots of DSO, Birds and Animals 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. Other measurements such as the PV and RMS are important too. With these measurements, the lower the number the better as it shows less curvature on the lens. The flatter an optical lens, the better it will perform. The PV rating (Peak To Valley) is a measurement from the highest point (Peak) to the lowest point (Valley). From this we get the RMS (Root, Mean, Square). This is a similar figure to the PV and measured exactly the same way. The RMS is basically an average height difference from the PV so again, the lower the better. As you can see form the example below, we measured an RMS of just 0.027 wave which is a very good value.

Tired of bulky, complicated telescopes that keep you from enjoying the wonders of the night sky? Look no further than DWARF II - your portable gateway to stargazing and astrophotography!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. Dwarf IIEasy to Control with Your Mobile Device We also measure the Power with our systems which is essentially the error from the reference sphere to the test optic. The reference sphere we use on our system is a very high quality sphere so the closer to zero the Power, the less error between the 2 elements thus ensuring a higher quality optical surface. Connect your smartphone/tablet with DWARF II via WiFi, then you can wirelessly control the telescope through DWARFLAB App (available in Android & iOS) and take pictures/videos. Note: Please ensure that your phone/tablet supports Bluetooth 4.0 & WiFi 5GHz The Classic edition includes a DWARF II, a carrying bag, a tripod, a replaceable battery and a 64GB microSD card.
