DWARFLAB has introduced its latest creation, the DWARF 3 Smart Telescope, designed for both astrophotography enthusiasts and nature lovers. The telescope is available for $499/£400, but for the early birds (those who like a deal with their stargazing), it’s currently being offered at $489/£392 until September 1st. Shipping starts in September, just in time for autumn skywatching.
This isn’t your old-school telescope that takes up half your living room. The DWARF 3 features a clever periscopic design that folds light through a prism, allowing it to squeeze impressive optical power into a device about the size of a dictionary. Weighing just under three pounds, it’s light enough to toss in a backpack, but powerful enough to let you peer into the far reaches of space (or at least the moon, if that’s more your speed).
Equipped with dual-camera functionality, the DWARF 3 gives you both a 35mm telephoto lens and a 3.4mm wide-angle lens. Whether you’re zooming in on the Milky Way or capturing a sprawling landscape, this telescope has you covered. If astrophotography has ever seemed intimidating, the DWARF 3 simplifies it with AI tracking and one-click GOTO controls, so you can focus more on enjoying the view and less on fiddling with settings.
The whole thing is controlled via the DWARFLAB app, which works on both iOS and Android. With an intuitive interface, the app makes it easy to plan your shots, stream images in real-time, and manage various smart features. Connecting via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, it also handles noise reduction and image post-processing, so you don’t have to be an expert to capture stunning shots.
For the birdwatchers out there, the DWARF 3’s telephoto lens lets you snap wildlife photos from a distance, ensuring you don’t end up scaring off your subjects. The AI tracking helps keep your shots steady, and 4K video recording at 30fps means you’ll capture every detail. With support for multiple image formats like JPEG, PNG, FITS, and TIFF, this telescope offers plenty of flexibility for both newcomers and seasoned photographers.
The DWARF 3 is powered by a robust 10,000mAh battery, giving you ample time for long shooting sessions. Its 128GB eMMC storage offers plenty of space for your high-resolution images. Whether you’re capturing the cosmos or wildlife, the DWARF 3 delivers without weighing you down—or your wallet (for now).
You can find the DWARF 3 on DWARFLAB’s website, ready for the next adventure.
