Our fascination with the cosmos encourages us to continuously innovate the tools we use to observe the heavens. Unfortunately, the most advanced equipment is exclusively used by space agencies and professionals to make groundbreaking discoveries. Meanwhile, all hope is not lost for the eager enthusiast, thanks to commercial options such as the DWARF Mini.

To the average person, the hobby seems straightforward on paper. Simply take a telescope, aim it at the sky, and view the distant objects in detail. Although this is exactly what people have been doing in the past, we now have modern technology to streamline the process. DWARFLAB, on the other hand, is making it even more accessible.

If there is a particular celestial object you want to manually focus on, there are several steps to follow. Experts typically consult charts and coordinates to locate what they want in a constellation. It’s backbreaking work, to be honest, which is why products like the DWARF Mini become extremely useful for a budding astronomer.

No need to lug around something bulky and heavy, as this smart telescope only weighs 29.63 ounces. Portability is another awesome selling point here as the DWARF Mini meansures a compact 100.38 mm x 183.61 mm x 60.70 mm (WxHxD). Using this bad boy is a cinch. Place it on a flat, stable surface, pair it with your smartphone, choose what to view, and enjoy.

The motorized base allows it to spin 360 degrees, while the rotating lens barrel can turn up to 225 degrees. Your DWARF Mini is compatible with both Android and iOS devices. DWARFLABS outfits the device with a telephoto and a wide-angle lens for versatility. Elsewhere, a 7,000 mAh battery lasts up to four hours on a full charge.
