Dwarf II Smart Telescope Brings Power and Portability to Backyard Astronomy

The diminutive entry-level telescope captures remarkably clear views of space, but its usability may pose a challenge.

Backyard astrophotography is experiencing a surge in popularity thanks to telescopes becoming more user-friendly and, as a result, actually fun to use. However, cost and portability remain a barrier, making the Dwarf II Smart Telescope a smart, viable option despite some annoying shortcomings. Dwarf II is a compact and portable smart telescope at an excellent price point. It’s also super flexible, featuring both wide-angle and telephoto lenses.

I liked the neat feature of being able to turn off the unit’s various lights to prevent possible interference during imaging. Combining Dwarf II’s timelapse feature with no auto-tracking was fun, allowing for creative captures of the “passing” full Moon, as shown below. The app provides a searchable catalog of target objects. The app will let you know if an object is unavailable for imaging, such as below the horizon line.
