The DWARF 3 Smart Telescope is making nature photography and astrophotography more accessible and user-friendly. This compact and portable telescope is designed to bring the wonders of the universe closer to everyone, regardless of their experience level. The DWARF 3 measures just 8.7 x 5.6 x 2.6 inches (222 × 142 × 65 mm) and weighs 2.97 pounds (1.35 kg), making it nearly as portable as a standard pair of binoculars.

Equipped with a dual-camera system, the DWARF 3 features both telephoto and wide-angle lenses. This setup allows users to capture detailed images of celestial objects as well as wide-field shots of the night sky or panorama photos. The telescope has a 35 mm aperture apochromatic lens, which enhances optical performance and light-gathering capacity. The DWARF 3 is equipped with the Sony IMX 678 (Starvis 2) image sensor, which increases pixel size by 90.24%, reaching 2µm. This allows for longer shutter times with minimal noise, resulting in clearer and more detailed images.

The telescope includes three built-in filters: VIS, Astro, and Dual-Band. These filters cover a range of wavelengths, making the DWARF 3 suitable for both daytime terrestrial photography and nighttime astrophotography. The DWARF 3 features powerful automatic post-processing capabilities that reduce noise while preserving celestial details. This ensures clarity and texture even when shooting in less-than-ideal conditions.

The DWARF 3 Smart Telescope is designed to be user-friendly, with an automatic setup and one-click auto shooting capabilities. This makes it easy for anyone to start capturing stunning images of the Moon, Sun, Milky Way, galaxies, and nebulae in just minutes. Additionally, the telescope can be used for bird watching and shooting one billion-pixel panorama photos.
