The DWARF mini Smart Telescope from DwarfLab captures beautiful photos of galaxies, nebulae, and planets—but unlike traditional astrophotography, it uses no bulky, expensive optical tubes and mounts. This rechargeable, book-sized, 2-pound device automatically finds and photographs celestial objects of your choosing, showing the image on your phone or tablet. It offers the same kinds of tracking, editing, and image-stacking the pros use, with exposures of up to 90 seconds for the faintest subjects and specialized filters to capture the most dramatic sights.
