i was about to buy ZWO SeeStar S50 what would be better ZWO SeeStar S50 or DWARF 3? I'm looking at buying a smart telescope just wanna know I'm getting a good one

Is this what AI essentially dose to the image.

Over priced. No need to buy this 😂😅

Appreciate the video. I was wondering if you could do a video on using the s50 on a eq mount.

What exact model is this ?

„Shockingly decent“

All that work just to edit an image of what it actually looks like

I ordered the dwarf 3 back in October and am still waiting for it to be delivered. In the meantime I have watched every video i could find on it. Can’t wait for it to get delivered

finally going into this and going to try this out..... i decided on the askar 71f combined with the zwo asi533 mc pro ..... been looking at this channel for the past 2 yrs... and wanted to give it a try..... i do regualr photography .... and i enjoy it a lot .... and thought i would expand my horizons when i am slow

Thank for your video. I'm 67 and still have my Sears equatorial 70 MM refractor my father gave me for my 14th birthday. Sadly, I have lost most of my eyesight in my left eye due to glaucoma and have trouble looking through an eye because of glaucoma/cataracts. This product looks amazing. Can you recommend a product or types of products that I could attach to my refractor and be able to view on a laptop what the telescope captures?

If you were traveling for say work and wanted to have something to do in the evenings, here you go! $500 is definitely a good price point as well. Thanks for an informative review.

Genius little thing i love it

Maybe because I'm used to doing dso's...but it seems planetary is much more on the technical side. Especially with the focal lengths used, everything needs to be dialed in perfect. Great job!

Do you think larger formats of these all in one smart telescopes will replace traditional astro rigs in the future?

Can you do a video on how to collimate the act 6" telescope? The other people doing it are not clear and they all have some ridiculous theory and hard to understand method, please and thank you.

Ive only done SOME astro, here and there. Nothing serious, because I simply dont have the proper equipment, but im looking at either this Dwarf 3 or The Seestar S50. But im wondering how long until the next gen of Seestar Smart scopes will be announced?

I live in Class 6 skies but I'm only about 2-2.5 hours drive away from Class 1 skies with 0 LP...none at all. Unfortunately, at the moment I don't have a car to get out there. But, I have been out there and I can tell you that the MW is that bright out there it can be a little harsh to look at. Looking at Venus, Jupiter or any star like Sirius, Canopus, Alpha, Rigel. etc, can actually be hard. It can ruin your night vision. But, when the Moon isn't up, it's inky black. You're flat out seeing your hand in front of your face. Not funny when you see a possum or some other critter staring at you in the dark and their eyes look like car headlights! Or, a cow creeps up behind you and moos😝

i love winter in my area for star gazing cus its not hell like in summer

How is this budget? The full setup here if you don't own any of these costs $2143. That is insane. How would you do this with say $300? I just don't have the money for this. Also why does a star tracker cost $400? It's just a slow motor really.

Wouldn't mind getting both....the Dwarf 3 and the S50😊 Have the best of both worlds!

Hi Trevor, Excellent report, as usual. IMHO, a comparison between this and other smart scopes would be helpful. Especially the differences between these products. Why one product might be more suited to a user. Thanks for all the study, planning, and execution of this video analysis.

Great video, but can you do a review on s30

in my opinion, saturn looks better when it isn't at opposition, because you can more easily see the shadow it casts on its rings

Just bought on hoping it will be delivered in december on pre order

Incredibly solid review here Trevor! 14 minutes flew by. It's very tempting to grab a Dwarf3 myself now. That Horsehead Nebula was shocking just how good you (the astrophotographer) can get with 45 minutes of data.

Maby start talking about your image when you finally reveal it--- yup instead of 20 seconds reveal with trance music lol. You do great work but you spoke all about the setup----- for 7 minutes. I'd like you to explain about the photo while you reveal it AA

Do you think these telescopes will ever make obsolete all of your astrophotography gear? It seems like it’s heading that way

KZbinrs are being paid to promote this over-priced piece of crap. Cannot believe Astro backyard would do a review of a s-h-i-t-ty product

I ordered mine in October and won't get it until January or February 2025! 😥

I see better pictures with s50

I really appreciate your efforts! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

@Astrobackyard, i know this sounds silly but why connect that cable to handcontroller port and not to autoguide port on the mount? Or do you only connect to the autoguide port if you connect directly from the camera? (I'm new in this so bit steep of a learning curve and i know this has been over a year)

Great review. Really helpful. Thanks! I’m waiting for my Dwarf 3 to arrive (4-6 MORE weeks 😢). You referred to a WiFi connection to your phone. Did you mean Bluetooth?

Hi Trevor, du you think this could be an good way to get into the Hobby? I mean equipment could get expensive here, even with rudimentary Gear. You need an StarTracker, an DSLR and an Small Refractor. Nothing could nearly come as cheap as the Dwarf 3. Would love 2 see an Second video on Smart Teleskopes 😊

Great video Trevor!..I have the dwarf 2 and love it!...Camping up north by the fire, chatting, while watching Andromeda stack on my tablet... incredible!...and introduces the masses to what we love!

I've had mine on order for a month now, January it arrives apparently, very excited!

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒙𝒚 𝒘𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒔𝒐 𝒄𝒐𝒐𝒍

But in the end, the best telescope is the one you use more...

Surprised there isn’t a built in accelerometer to aid with EQ mode since they seemed to have thought of everything else. Nice product though.

Beautiful image. This just showed me just how much dark skies help. I visited a bortle 2 location in Arizona last year and took a single 3-min exposure with my Nikon D5000 unmodified DSLR and z61 (f5.9) and I was able to push the data somewhat close to the same as this image.

Thanks for the review. I was down on the smart telescopes at first, because of the cost, but they are really affordable now. Seeing how well they do, and how comparably easy they are to set up makes me rethink getting a Star Adventurer GTI. I hope you're able to do a review of the SeeStar S30 in the coming months. I'd be really interested to know how it compares to the Dwarf 3.

Another excellent review! Thank you Trevor.

Paid for it in May (preorder for September) and still did not receive it!!! I am at a stage of requesting a refund and buying a seestar instead. What a frustrating experience,

Plate solving is wonderful. The major frustration of amateur astronomers has been achieving and maintaining alignment - 2 star, 3 star, polar etc. Dwarf 3, Seestar 50, etc utlize technology to eliminate that headache. Some manufacturer needs to come up with an integrated mount and finder and camera with integrated software to which you add an OTA. That would be a real game changer for astrophotography.

I have had one on order for a couple weeks. Can hardly wait to get the Dwarf 3. Thanks for the video.

You should mention that the latest firmware and the App for the Dwarf 2 also gives it EQ mode, AI denoising and Dithering. These are all software/firmware features, not hardware. Unfortunately, these updates can’t address the physical limitations of the Dwarf 2, its sensor, optical quality etc. Thanks.

I gave up waiting, they Keep pushing the release date back and back, the last email i got off them said my order would now be Jan 2025. I cancelled my order and bought the Seestar S50. Been using that the past 2weeks and it's brilliant.

I believe you can shoot the planets with the dwarf 2, can you also shoot the planets with the dwarf 3?

I was waiting for your review and it didn’t disappoint. I ordered mine in September. Delivery was pushed back to October and was then pushed back again to the end of November. TBH I don’t think I’ll see it this side of Christmas. Can’t wait to get it though. Clear skies!!!

But part of the fun is going outside and doing it yourself it is just making people lazy. There’s no fun in anything no more. It’s just all electronics. It’s shit.
