DWARF 3 Smart Telescope – Compact Dual-Camera AI Imaging System
The DWARF 3 Smart Telescope is a powerful, portable, dual-camera imaging system built for effortless EAA (Electronically Assisted Astronomy), astrophotography, and wildlife/terrestrial photography. With onboard AI, plate solving, and app-controlled GoTo, DWARF 3 allows complete beginners and experienced users to capture impressive sky and wildlife images with minimal setup.
This advanced smart telescope combines a wide-angle camera (for framing and target acquisition) with a telephoto camera (for deep-sky and wildlife detail), automatically synced through the DWARFLAB app for smooth and intuitive operation.
