- My take on a year of using the Dwarf II smart telescope from Dwarf Labs! Is it still good? What makes it good? I will try and answer these questions! Thanks for tuning in! Subscribe if you haven’t, tap that notification bell so you don’t miss out on any new vids!
I use the Celestron lithium ion Powertank Pro for powering the Dwarf II. Both of the filters I use for most sessions are from Baader Planetariums. Baader Neodymium moon and skyglow filter for galaxies, lunar imaging, natural star colour and reflection nebulae and the Baader UHC-L light pollution filter for emission nebulae. #astrophotography #dwarflabs #astronomy #telescope #space
Agreed
Just ordered a Dwarf 3 but thinking the Seestar S50 might be better. Obviously not released. Should I stick with the 3 or go for the S50? This would be my first of this type of scope.
I think with the upgrades on the Dwarf III it will be more comparable to the S50 as far as field of view and upgraded sensor. My issue with the Seestar was the lack of an option to run it equatorially and it was much too sensitive when it came to having to be perfectly level to function properly. The Dwarf II was much more forgiving when it cane to set up. In my honest opinion I think for the price the Dwarf III would be the best option, stick with it!👍🏻
I agree with you that the Dwarf 11 is an excellent bit of kit, i have 150 sct goto which i really like, but never the money or the time to get into high end astro photograthy . The Dwarf 11 certainly filled the gap for me. I am now getting into EAA, just love this hobby.
It just works so well, and it makes it easy and fun! Struggling with a full size astro rig is definitely not for everyone!
Hi, can you add in the description the model of the power bank and the filters you add to the dwarf? Thanks :)
Of course!
PS Dwarf 3 is just about to be released, 30th May
Yeah, I am super excited to see what a difference the upgrades will make! I did a short vid when the tech specs were released, looks like it will be another winner!
For planetary it's still still the regular rig.
I use a Celestron 6” sct for planetary
@@SpaceRocksandStardustA beginner is more attracted to see these planetary details which none of the EAA scopes are just yet there. Maybe the price point is set higher when they get there.
@@NatarajanGanesan Yes, I think you are right there! If they had that ability I would imagine the price would increase significantly. Nothing beats aperture and focal length for planetary. I am sure Celestron’s entry into the world of smartscopes with the RASA would be capable but the pice point is really far too high to be affordable for most and is definitely not for a beginner.
@@SpaceRocksandStardust Indeed! Their latest Celestron Origin is showing the path where it is all headed
