Hoping to get my hands on Dwarf 3, the Dwarf 2 that I own has been a gamechanger as I'm physically impaired and moving around is really hard, especially with larger objects in my hands.
excellent reviews , totally agree with you, i already own the Dwarf 2 and it went beyond my expectations. i also use a 6inch sct goto telescope and the two together give me all that i want from observing our universe .
Dwarf 3 would be the best for travel and carrying it with you wherever you go. Everything else, including the S50 is too bulky/heavy.
New sub here. Thank you for an excellent and concise comparison of the market right now, great job! I’m glad to hear that there may well be a new version of the Seestar - that will probably be when I pull the trigger on one.
@@Ian_is_Outdoors i have to agree, and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one asap😂😂
@@ScottCastrophotography There will always be something better🙃😉😊
Always, and I'll want it as soon as it shows up😂😂 this is an addiction
Ordered my Dwarf 3 back in May...I have the Dwarf 2 and I can't wait to see how much better the latest iteration will be. It seems that smart telescopes will follow a similar path to smartphones, as in there will always be a newer model on sale soon enough. On a good night, I have my Dwarf imaging whilst I am looking upwards with either my 127 Skymax or my150mm TS Photon reflector.
Strange to see D3 mentioned and Vespera Pro skipped. They are both new addition in 2024.
This video provides an amazing perspective on the current state of smart telescopes. While many of the latest models are still new and somewhat overpriced... they can still be a great choice for those interested in capturing deep sky objects with smart telescopes! Personally, I have a Seestar S50, and I love it! I've been using it more than my previous setup that I used all the time.
I chose the Seestar S50. Dwarf coming in a close 2nd.
Thank you for the comparison, I enjoyed viewing the video. You mentioned the possibility of equatorial mode for the Seestar, have you tried it? can you do a tutorial for us beginners? Best regards.
Having chosen the IMX178 camera sensor (which is very outdated) for their supposed premium $4000 Celestron Origin baffles me. Even the $450 Dwarf 3 has a MUCH better sensor.
I know right? That confused me as well. Why put so much money into a telescope and then mess up on one of the most important things
Excellent review. I believe that smart telescopes are the future of amateur astronomy and they are attracting many new people into the hobby. Many people use an ASIAIR, Eagle or a PC to essentially create a smart telescope. The latest generation of even smarter telescopes as you point out are doing a great job in providing people with a complete solution right out of the box.
Totally agree!
Nice review, I would only say that although Seestar represents a very good value, Vespera 2 I think is the best value on the market right now, it’s just a more mature system with better build quality, ability to choose fov, ability to rotate targets for framing, Starvis 2 etc… but you do have to pay more. I’m excited to test out the dwarf3 but I see that one as a companion scope to the other robots due to its widefield design
When do you think the Seestar successor will be released?
Who knows. I assume at the next Neaf
I'm looking at either of Seestar or DwarfIII but I want to print out the images at A4 or A3 size. I have little interest in iPhone/Ipad images. Can you comment on which is best for my needs?
I have a seestar and my friend has the dwarf. The dawrfs only pro compared to sestar is its small but the sestar is already so small it doesnt matter. Plus the seestar is able to get alot better pictures than the dawrf.
Seestar and Dwarf have small chips and with too low resolution. Also they have an alt/azi-mount which results in field rotation after 15-45minutes. So you need some Seestar/Dwarf in parallel or some nights to get enough files for stacking and post processing to ensure good quality. However for A4/3 you never will reach a hight quality picture without noise. I'm using an APCS-chip format camera with several classic telescopes and also here A4 is the maxium but I need at least 4-5 hours of material. Do you have any experience in astrophotography?
@@elythomaslumber Yes I do. And any other option besides the seestar/dwarf go into the thousands of dollars goofball. So if someone is looking to get into it its alot easier to digest $500 than $2000. Plus even with alt/az you can get very good pictures with enough exposures and processing. Pixinsight or if you dont wanna spend the money graxpert and siril are plenty good to get very nice pictures. And its really not hard to set it up with an EQ mount like I have. People are just upset I can get very good pictures without having to drop several grand on a setup, so i can fund my other hobbies. Not a soul is saying its better but for only $500 there isnt anything better for someone who wants to get into astrophotography.
@@elythomaslumber For someone who has most likely never sued a seestar you're very critical of it. Or youre just that bad at processing that you think the images would be unbearably noisy. Actually go to some forums where people actually process their data instead of just screenshotting what the app live stacks and youll be surprised how much money you wasted on other setups.
@@elythomaslumber Also saying the seestar/dwarf are terrible because there are better ( alot more expensive ) options out there is like saying a honda civic is garbage cause Ferraris exist. Idk why you would expect some insane resolution from a $500 package. use your noodle
What puts me off the Dwarf 3 is the lack of replacable battery and removable sd card which are retrograde steps imo.
yes but both the battery and storage are vastly increased to the point where most people won't be swapping them out like the dwarf 2
@@tatersquad2000 famous last words - I wouldn't call 128GB vast plus in a few years when the battery is dead it will be add to e-waste.
Smartphone is not for photography, similarly smart scopes are not for astrophotography. But, hey, you can advise NASA to take $500 smart scope to the space. .
what kind of ridiculous comment is this? 🤣
Don't much like 'smart' telescopes.
