Other users of Dwarf IIs have also reported that the unit seems to heat up at substantially lower temperatures, citing that these telescopes can still be warm to the touch under near-freezing conditions (though without any malfunctions).

Zane has owned over 425 telescopes, of which around 400 he has actually gotten to take out under the stars. Alien 13 I've often thought there's no reason why a standard mobile phone gimbal couldn't be made to AZ track.

Photography through a telescope came much later for me, and it was a very difficult undertaking in the film days. DWARF II is highly portable, allowing you to take it anywhere, including on a plane, either in its custom-padded bag or in a backpack.

When identifying a target in the centre of the wide-angle view, the telephoto camera aligns itself with the chosen target. It's not high resolution (My telescope has a 60 MP camera), but for someone starting out or a young would be astrophotographer it's a great place to start.With some mobiles having 10x optical telephotos now, with the right software to do AZ star tracking it would certainly be interesting to see what the cameras could do. megapixels), thus you can tell that it captured images though there is no telling if it is capable of delivering on any more than 0. Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy. Each image is digitally aligned on board the scope, so sky rotation is not something you will have to worry about.

The Bodes galaxies and the Owl are more the realm of longer focal length scopes, so it's impressive to get this much detail from such a small lens. Being on an alt-azimuth mount with fairly low resolution stepper ticks, the Dwarf II will have issues with field rotation over periods longer than about 30 minutes of stacked exposures. Its compact and lightweight design enhances convenience and ensures that you can enjoy celestial observations and photography wherever your adventures take you.Generally, the higher the Strehl ratio, the lower the Astigmatism and Coma meaning a better image quality from your instrument.

Thanks to star tracking and automatic stacking, a continuously improving image appears in front of your eyes. Just select Zygo Test Report from the drop down box at the top of the listing and we will test the optics in house and provide a full 2 page report with your scope. During our tests, the Dwarf II quickly overheated on a September morning around room temperature when pointed at the Sun (a task for which it is designed and marketed as being useful). In addition to the issues we’ve already mentioned, it sometimes fails to connect to the telescope, gets stuck between “astronomy” and “regular” camera modes, freezes/crashes, or sends the telescope flailing wildly about when you try to aim the joystick.Whether you take it with you on a hillwalk or simply set it up in your garden, this telescope is always ready for action.
