Dwarflab Mini

Description:

This image was from my brightly lit parking lot. I just placed the pocket sized scope on the ground and set the exposure and gain to auto. It is amazing to see how much detail can be gathered in 33 min integration time with minimal processing. Smart telescopes—in the 30-50mm range—have moved closer to removing the entry barrier to astrophotography. All you need is curiosity to look at the stars and beyond. Acquisition Details: Optics: DWARFLAB mini Filter: Duo-Band (H-alpha/O-III)—Built-in Exposure: 150 x 15s (33 min 15s total) Processing: Stacked and processed in Stellar Studio, finalized with mobile adjustments.
