A complete observatory in your pocket
The DWARF Mini is DwarfLab's most surprising device yet: a smart telescope weighing less than a kilogram, measuring approximately 18 by 10 by 6 cm. This pocket-sized device contains two lenses, a Sony STARVIS 2 IMX662 sensor, integrated filters, a drive, and smart software. Place it on a stable surface or tripod, switch it on, and within about three minutes, you can take your first deep-sky photo.
Two lenses: telephoto and wide-angle
The telephoto lens (16mm full-frame equivalent) captures nebulae and galaxies, while the 45mm wide-angle lens captures the Milky Way and star trails. This allows a single device to combine detailed shots and landscape astrophotography. The integrated astro filter and the Duo-Band Ha/OIII filter highlight nebulae even under city skies.
Automatic for beginners, open for advanced
Beginners let the fully automatic image processing and live stacking do the work. Advanced users work with manual settings and raw data for their own post-processing. For solar observation, attach the included solar filter to the lens and safely photograph sunspots.
For whom yes, for whom no
Ideal for the traveler and beginner who wants the smallest full-fledged astrophotography camera, even as a second camera alongside a larger setup. Not for those seeking maximum image quality; the DWARF 3 has the larger sensor and optics in the family.

This little thing has limited resolution, but very good tracking. You can even do very long exposures (I did 120s) in EQ mode without dropping many frames. And it sets up super fast in EQ mode and in AltAz even much faster. You learn very quickly with this which deep sky objects hang where in which constellation, which makes it more fun to look at the stars with your naked eye and figure out what to see there. Instructive little device! Photographed in 1 week: C20, M51, M3, M67, M101, Dumbbell and Owl nebula and more.... Sun and moon beautiful too! Stellar Studio is fine, mega stack and mosaic don't always behave as expected, but that's learning the quirks and inherent frameworks and knowing when to shoot what I guess.... Mucho fun, also for kids (with the necessary bags under the eyes whahahahahah)

Just started to play around with it but it's extremely competent for it's size and price!

Nice device, I still need to learn how to use it better.

Looks good, I'm still learning about operation.

Completely new to astrophotography. Photographed professionally for years and already had some knowledge regarding photo editing. Was amazed at how well the device works. This Dwarf mini is super light, and with my muscle disease, I can still engage in hobbies that make my life a bit more worthwhile!

Still a lot to learn, but that's the fun part. Relatively unknown territory for me.

A special piece of technology that, for a beginner astrophotographer like me, is a great way to admire the night sky.

Due to the long days, I've only had a chance to image the afternoon/sunset moon, the sun, and an extremely short attempt at a galaxy so far (which I had to cut short due to sleep, so that shouldn't count), but I'm enjoying the Mini a lot! I was pleasantly surprised it can still pick up some DSOs in the summer nights. It's been wonderful and exciting even with the limited options available in the Dutch summer months. I plan to take it with me to Greece soon where I'm sure it'll shine.
