      Hi Beau! I like mine a lot. I have Dwarf 2 and 3 and captured many sky objects, including solar eclipses and comets. I have many videos of it.

    @davebillybish 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Thank you, because you are perhaps one of the only TH-camrs addressing this awkward problem. My old NEQ6 pro telescope mount doesn’t have the best of guiding records but I’d be bold enough to say that it is better than the Dwarf 3 is at the present. Even during a clear night sky with very good Clear Outside numbers my Dwarf3 has regular poor sub-frames with elongated stars, perhaps every 4 or 5 captures. As you commented, it is the best practice to Blink (look at) every sub and eliminate the bad ones. As Mitch said on his Astro channel many years ago, ‘Pixinsight for Absolute Beginners’, “junk in- junk out”. Hope you enjoy your trip. Travel safely.

    My problem has been the Dwarf 3 rejecting a third or more of the images for stacking. This happens regardless of what my settings have been, although most of my sessions have been at 30/60. Dwarflab has suggested I lower my exposure time to 10 seconds, which to me is absurd.

    • @yourfavoriteastronerd
      @yourfavoriteastronerd 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hey Michael! That's a lot of bad frames! I get 10 -20 bad frames in some sessions. To lower the exposure time to 10 and 15 is not right for Dwarf 3. If that's the case, then it is another Dwarf 2. I will talk to them in Las Vegas; there must be another solution. Stay tuned, and I may find the solution for you, or your device may need to be replaced. Diana😔

I also noticed that the problem doesn't happen if the sky is perfect but the Dwarf is advertised to be used in polluted city skies which are rarely perfect. So I hope that Dwarflab solves the problem soon because after waiting more than six months for it to arrive in my hands I find myself not being fully satisfied with the product.

    Great video Diana. Those star trails happen to me, in probably around 20% of the sessions with my Dwarf 3. They usually happen at the very beginning, mostly on the first few images taken by the telescope. What I usually do is to finish the session and start it all over. But what you recommend in this video makes sense, if we will stack the images later. Thank you for always sharing useful tips

      This is when it happens for me also, in the beginning. I usually just stop and wait and restart the session once the tracking settles in. Last night I had a scheduled session and I saw the same thing happen at the beginning of each object session. I didn’t want to stop it, so I just watched and waited. The bad images didn’t record and then once it resolved the stacking started up and the images were fine. Made me think the problem is it takes a bit of time for the tracking to settle in. It seems to happen regardless of exposure time for me.

    I need some help to try and Polar align Dwarf 3! Are these the correct steps. 1- Level Tripod 2- Mount and face Dwarf's back north and front facing south 3- since I can see Polaris I want to point lens to zenith, and then tilt scope to 31 degrees my altitude center Polaris in lens and adjust as per EQ direction on phone 4- When I have it close enough as per direction (here is where I have a question) Do I or can I just move the lens only up higher to more stars for the calibration not moving anything else? I assume it will ask me to calibrate or do it automatically. Reading about it from so many places I got confused. Am I missing any steps or adding too much here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! John

      @johnwatzke7174 Hi John! If you can see Polaris is better to point at Polaris, the lenses pointing at Polaris the best you can. I made 2 videos about this. Let me get the links

      @@johnwatzke7174 Once the EQ process starts , don't touch the lenses anymore until it says EQ success. Then you start the calibration and don't touch the lenses.

    Have fun at CES! I was in the loudspeaker business in the 80s and 90s and I used to have to go to CES every year. It was stressful for me but it would be fun now. Have a great time!

    Congrats!! Have fun and be careful at CES. I remember hearing about convention flu or bug from years past. It seems to be a thing at conventions.

      Diana, need a suggestion for a DSO to image with my Dwarf 3 before CES, please. Already done Andromeda & the North American Nebula. Could do the Nebula again, as my first attempt was pretty lame. Suggestions as to exposure & gain also appreciated. Any thoughts?

    Fake results like those perfect moon shots.. it has already come out that Samsung‘s uses a library of pictures and download them.. was wondering why Samsung has such a better picture of the moon than iPhone now I know… Now you’re gonna tell me you can get an eight minute exposure without A tracking system…

      @terrycan7507 Hi Terry! Thanks for writing to me. I own a celestron rasa 11 and several telescopes and mounts. The 8 mins capture time is for total time ,like the imaging session. The shutter speed is automatic, and the ISO. The moon images are stock images, just like everybody uses them to keep the video exciting. I have seen very good Moon images taken with cellphones, very close to what I posted. I will be testing the phone soon and will follow up on this video. Happy New Year ! Diana

      I believe she is talking about the app and basic settings in general. She never said that those are images taken with a Samsung.

      @spacecadet6575 Hi Glen! Merry Christmas! Me either! It started with Samsung 22 , so a couple of years or so. I have been fighting with myself not to use cellphones for this, but I finally surrendered and realized that they could do a good job for a big percentage of the population. I am going to make short tutoriasl on them, BUT my number one option is traditional telescopes 🔭. I am a dinosaur 🦕 🙂 😎 Diana

    I’ve come to the conclusion I’m aimed to get my dwarf 3 when they announce the next dwarf. I’ll just be sure to pre order the second it’s available instead of waiting 1 day after pre orders open. Their shipping delays are mind boggling among their picking names out of a hat as to who gets theirs next. Absolutely no excuse for those who ordered in late july to be getting theirs when those who ordered June 1st get nothing still

      Hi RR, I hear you! It's sad and wrong. I received many comments like yours, and I understand. I am going to see the Dwarflab team in a few days at the CES show in Las Vegas and will tell them about the frustration of not having the telescope yet. Honestly, I don't understand why it took this long when Dwarf 2 had a short waiting period. Thanks for watching my video and for your support! Happy New Year! I will let you know soon.
