Meet the DWARF 3: powerfully light and compact
The DWARF 3 Smart Telescope offers a unique take on the smart telescope market, literally two in one. You have both a 737 mm telephoto lens For close-ups like a 45 mm wide-angle lens for wide panoramas. That means more range than the previous generation, while maintaining the wide field of view. So you capture more than ever, from distant galaxies to vast landscapes.
This optical leap goes hand in hand with a more powerful sensor and a faster Neural Processing Unit (NPU). Whether you're tracking birds, composing panoramas, or photographing deep-sky objects, the DWARF 3 delivers cleaner, sharper images in less time.
Practicality has also been improved: a 10,000 mAh internal battery and 128 GB built-in eMMC memory give you the freedom to shoot for hours without additional equipment. Ideal for backyard observing sessions, on a stargazing night or on a weekend under dark skies.
All the benefits of the DWARF 3 at a glance
Small, portable, yet incredibly powerful: the Dwarf 3 features a number of upgrades and new functionalities, in addition to its ultra-portable design, AI-powered tracking system, and ease of use, just like the previous generation!
Dual camera system
The Dwarf 3 stands out from other smart telescopes thanks to its dual-lens system: a 150 mm telephoto lens and a 6.7 mm wide-angle lens. In the familiar 35mm equivalent, this provides a focal length of 737 mm (3840 x 2160 resolution) and 45 mm (1920 x 1080 resolution). The periscope telephoto lens has a 45.8% larger aperture than the previous generation, providing significantly more light gathering power—a benefit that amateur astrophotographers will immediately appreciate. For wide-field shots, the wide-angle lens offers a comparable field of view, which—thanks to smart AI software—can easily be stitched together into gigapixel panoramas. Whereas features such as panorama, video, astrophotography, burst mode, and time-lapse were previously exclusive to the telephoto lens, all modes are now fully available on both lenses.
Also for nature photography, day and night!
Even during the day, the Dwarf 3 performs excellently thanks to its powerful Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for AI object tracking. Animals or moving objects are automatically recognized and tracked with razor-sharp clarity thanks to continuous autofocus. Zoom in with one click as soon as the subject is stationary. The wide-angle and telephoto lenses always work synchronously, allowing you to switch between both perspectives directly in the app. Feel like taking wide-angle shots? The panorama mode combines multiple shots into gigapixel compositions. Thanks to the new panorama preview function, you can determine the perfect composition beforehand before the final, high-resolution photo is taken.
Compact and lightweight, take it anywhere
Weighing just 1.3 kg, you can take the DWARF 3 anywhere. The telescope comes with a custom-made, padded carrying case that optimally protects both the unit and all accessories during transport. This makes the device the complete all-in-one travel companion for mobile stargazers and nature enthusiasts.
Versatile modes for night photography
Enjoy full automation: the Dwarf 3 compensates for Earth's rotation by accurately tracking objects through rotation on the x and y axes, supported by an algorithm that counters field curvature. New is the EQ mode: place the telescope on an (optional) tripod with polar alignment for up to 4x longer exposure times and unprecedented detail. The built-in AI software provides instant automatic stacking and noise reduction, and with the mosaic function, you can create extra-large compositions. Prefer to edit yourself afterward? Simply export your shots as FITS, JPEG, PNG, or TIFF. For creative effects, switch off tracking in 'Star Trail' mode to capture star trails above the landscape.
Intuitive and smart control
The Dwarf 3 excels in user-friendliness. You can pair your smartphone or tablet in seconds via Wi-Fi or the brand-new NFC 'one-touch' connection. Wireless control is seamless via the DWARFLAB app (available for iOS and Android), which is accessible to everyone thanks to its multilingual support. The system automatically detects its surroundings and switches between access point and station modes to ensure the most stable connection. Simply select an object from the database, or point your phone at the sky and tap the screen to focus. During long recording sessions, the app runs seamlessly in the background, so you can do other things on your phone in the meantime.
Please note: Your mobile device must have Bluetooth 4.0 and 5GHz WiFi.
Advanced Hardware for Astrophotography
DwarfLab has fundamentally improved the telescope’s photographic performance with larger optics, an upgraded sensor, and integrated filters. The telephoto lens now captures as much as 116% more light, which, combined with the Sony IMX678 sensor (equipped with STARVIS 2 technology and 90,24% larger pixels), ensures an extremely light-sensitive image with minimal noise. In addition to the standard visual filter, the device features two internal astrophotography filters: an Astro filter for infrared-rich broadband imaging and a Dual-Band filter that specifically isolates OIII, H-alpha, and H-beta wavelengths to beautifully highlight emission nebulae. Thanks to the included solar filter, you can just as easily capture impressive images of the Moon and the Sun.

Absolutely impressed with the image quality. I used it to capture the Orion Nebula from my backyard in Limburg last weekend. Even with some light pollution still beautiful details!

For a compact telescope, this is really next level. Takes a little getting used to the app, but after that you don't want anything else. My kids, ages 10 and 13, love tracking with it.

I received the device a few days ago. A bit "difficult" to calibrate, but once done you have perfect photos and thanks to the ai in the app you already get a very nice result without editing yourself.

Many possibilities in a compact device. Great addition to my hobby that "used to be" unattainable. Exploring the universe from your garden. Purchased to capture the larger DSO's (Andromeda, Heart, Veil etc) And of course the Milky Way which is just possible with this little device. And I saw many more "daytime" features in the menu. Huge panorama pictures etc.. That will be a lot of YT tutorials to watch....

This Dwarf 3 is not comparable to the Dwarf 2. The results are much more contrasty, colorful and detailed because of the 35 mm Extra-Low Dispersion lens and the built-in Vis-, Astro- and Dual-band filters. The photo editing program Stellar Studio in the app. gives very good results, should you wish to use it. The Mega Stack is an amazing gadget, allowing you to merge several nights of photo sessions of the same galaxy/nebulae into one photo. Also the Mosaic setting that allows you to capture a larger area of, say, a nebulae is a very nice feature. Similarly, the ability to set up this Smart Telescope equatorially gives even better and more detailed pictures as you can then take longer shutter speeds. The "dual-native-gain" Sony IMX678 STARVIS 2 sensor ensures that you can set a much higher Gain setting, which gives better results. And lost but not least, the service that the team of Telescoop.nl offers you, should there be any problems, is a 10 with a pin! The conclusion ... Buy this Dwarf 3 at Telescoop.nl.

What possibilities. For the amateur astronomer, really a big step toward more convenience and better quality of shots. Saves time in setting up telescope with camera; daa
Dominique (verified owner) -
Excellent device for exploring the sky with friends or family. Even for an experienced astrophotographer with years of experience, this is an ideal instrument to take with you on vacation and take pictures without worries. The dual lens and the ability to take deepsky, Milky Way, Moon and Sun images provide a versatile device for a reasonable price.

Very easy to install and use, exactly what I needed to start my DSO adventure.
Andre Blaauw (verified owner) -
It's too early to say much about this telescope yet. It's compact, and I really need to use it more often. What I can say is that if you want to take a picture of the moon, a phone with 100X zoom on a tripod is just as good. I tested it for stars and the like, and I wasn't really impressed. The other functions for tracking, etc., might be quite useful, but I haven't had much time for those yet either. The weather hasn't been great lately. So I'm curious to see if it's better at night and if I might need to find a location with less ambient light.

Nice product at a good price. However, it comes with a very short manual that says, for example, to press the start button without indicating where it is with a picture. The rest of the extensive explanation can only be read on the screen, but you have to be able to turn it on first.
