LIVE STREAMING WITH THE Dwarf 3

m81, m82 using the Dwarf Labs Dwarf 3 Smart Telescope

Hi, nice video. I have one question. If you had to choose only one telescope, what would you choose between the S30, S50 and Dwarf 3?

It depends on your experience with astrophotography and telescopes in general. If you have none, get the Seestar S50. However, if you have some experience with DSLRs and know cameras, the Dwarf3 would be better. It has two lenses and can be used for wide-view astrophotography as well as regular astrophotography. If your budget is more of a priority, then the Seestar S30 would be worth considering. As I have both the S50 and the D3, I love the D3 more. However, for solar and lunar imaging, the S50 is best. You can't really do planetary imaging with any of these.

I had the S50 for 2 weeks and returned it, I had some unpleasant experiences with it. Simply in its application many times, it did not stack-ing, I spent hours and no improvement was seen. What I noticed, the S50 is bothered by light, my impression is that when a beam of light reached the lens, it had this behavior. I did not test it with a sunshade. But now I was looking at the Dwarf 3, the image quality seems much superior to me, but it seems to me that it is in a beta stage. Is that so? And one more thing about the S50, it loses a lot of frames, far too many, and some of them seemed to me to be for no reason

So, I"m sorry you ran into issues. I purchased a dew shield early on and that helps with stray lights getting into the S50. So much has changed in the S50 over the past few months and it is quite nice actually. As for beta for the Dwarf3, you don't have to get beta versions. I like the way Dwarf Lab handles updates and its software is quite wonderful. While both the D3 and S50 have their strengths and weaknesses, I love using the D3.

got the D3 on order , can you tell me how you are able to control the D3 using you PC please and once connected can it be operated without further use of the phone ?🙏

@spookysandwich1355 on the pc side, install scrcpy (android devices) then run the executable. Also on the android device enable usb debugging and to do this you'll need to enable developer mode. Connect the pcusing usb cables, and run scrcpy. A popup will come up on the phone about running usb debugging...select allow. Scrcpy may then disappear. Run it again and thistle you should see your phones screen mirrored onto your pc. You can also search for enabling usb debugging enabled and also scrcpy on KZbin.
