Latest Features - February 2026 Update Sky Finder — Your Personal Sky GuideThe DWARF 3's wide-field lens now scans the sky and identifies what is up there — galaxies, nebulae, star clusters — right on your phone screen. No more squinting at star charts or guessing. Use the on-screen joystick to move the telescope, and it labels everything visible in your field of view. Tap a target, and you are imaging it. That simple. Dedicated Star Trails ModePreviously you had to use workarounds and third-party software to create star trail images. Now it is built right into the DwarfLab app. Clean interface, smooth exposures, polished results. Set it up in your backyard with a tree or house in the foreground and you will get those gorgeous circular star trail photos that look like they belong in a magazine. Panorama Framing — No More GuessworkIf you have ever tried to shoot a mosaic panorama with a smart telescope, you know it used to involve a lot of trial and error. The new panorama framing feature lets you visually frame your shot before you press capture. Better composition, less wasted sky, more accurate stitching. Autofocus ImprovementsThe autofocus is now more reliable and faster, with significantly less hunting — even when there are obstacles in the frame. Whether you are shooting deep sky or terrestrial scenes, the DWARF 3 locks on and stays locked. Stellar Studio — Built-In Image ProcessingThe DWARF 3 includes Stellar Studio, DwarfLab's built-in image processing suite. One tap and it brings out stunning contrast, richer colours, sharper details, and perfect star shapes. Star correction, denoising, and even star removal are now free and built right in. Better Optical Performance with a 35 mm APO Lens! Featuring an enhanced 35mm telephoto lens with a periscope mechanism, the Dwarf 3 doubles the light-gathering capacity when compared to the previous generation. Composed of multiple ED (extra-low dispersion) lenses, Dwarf 3 is meticulously optimized to the diffraction limit, ensuring each star dazzles with intricate detail. With the powerful Sony IMX 678 STARVIS 2 sensor, the Dwarf 3 allows you to enjoy longer shutter times with very low noise. Three Built-in Filters! VIS Filter: Covers the 430-650nm range, making the Dwarf 3 perfect for daytime terrestrial photography. Astro Filter: Extends to the 440-690nm infrared range. Use this filter for astronomy and low light photography. Dual-Band Filter: Targets the Oxygen III (500.7nm), H-Beta (486nm), and H-Alpha (656.3nm) wavelengths. This filter reduces the effects of artificial and natural (the Moon) light pollution for clearer emission nebula imaging. Supports 4 Image Formats Effortless Astrophotography The Dwarf 3 is so easy to use! You don't need to know how to manually focus, do calibration frames or set parameters; this smart camera does it all automatically. Designed with beginners in mind, get amazing results on your smartphone with just one shot. If you prefer to make manual adjustments, however, more advanced users can have precise control over all aspects of the image. Post processing is automatic and powerful with AI-powered noise reduction. Reducing noise preserves celestial details, ensuring clarity and texture even when shooting in less than ideal conditions.
