My very first Moon capture, from many years ago. Taken through a junky old department store telescope with a first generation iphone… my how times have changed…

Up close and personal with our Moon. It looks so smooth and round when you look up at night, but her surface bears the scars of protection.✨🔭

Testing the Dwarf 3’s Milky Way capture and stacking capabilities last night… it is impressive! Full moon, no dark frames taken and stacked onboard the Dwarf in its Stellar Studio editing software the test result is far better than I expected!✨🔭

At a dark sky site tonight with an almost full moon, but making the best of it with a dual narrowband filter. Getting some time in Cygnus.✨🔭

Dwarf 3 testing from the other night. Just a couple hours of 30 second exposures on Bode’s & Cigar Galaxies. Amazing from such light polluted skies from the smallest smart scope on the market!✨🔭

A very tiny M51 Whirlpool Galaxy from Dwarf testing the other night. Definitely the smallest version I have shot!😂 but how amazing is it that this little scope can get this image with the push of a few buttons on a tablet?? Image 3 is from my full sized rig for comparison.✨🔭

Cloudy tonight🙄 so here is last nights test with the Dwarf 3. M3, a globular cluster 34,000 light years from Earth in Canes Venatici with over 500,000 stars. Impressed by this little scope again, just 7 minutes data!✨🔭

Early testing with the Dwarf 3 smart scope. This is 300 30 second long exposures on M101, the Pinwheel Galaxy over 20 million light years away! This tiny little scope (3lbs!) is a powerhouse for sure! At around $500 it is a simple and fun to use telescope/camera for anyone!✨🔭
