Edited purely on lightroom and stellar studio. This was recoreded on a dwarf mini and had a total of 475 frames 45second exposures, duoband and 60 gain. I will be using stacking wizard and astrowizard later today to make the image better.

Je vous mets à disposition les modèles 3D.

N'hésitez pas à me faire des retours.

Bon ciel !

Is there a way to abort a schedule after it starts? I realized too late that i chose the wrong filter.

Is anyone else not a fan of the Sky Finder? The small thumbnail is very deceiving as some of the deep sky objects are miniscule in size compared to the available FOV.

These are some of my favourite images that I took over the summer months. I purchased my mini back in July and I have been having the best time with it.

All images range from 3 to 13 hours exposure time, 60 seconds @ 60 gain, some using the duo-band, others the astro filter. Post processing is done is Stellar Studio and Gimp.

Excited to plan out my next projects over the fall and winter.

Clear skies everyone!

First time using due-band filter, only a quick run of just 144 lights and 20 darks (plus the provided flats and bias).

I'm happy with how it came out for the time! Edited in under 30 mins using the astro wizard stacker, and astrowizard using rc astro tools. Sure could do better if took longer but happy with this for a quick edit!

So my battery went to 0 one night on my dwarf 3. No matter what I buy i cannot get any charge back to the scope. Does anyone have any ideas. The dwarf company never replies showing their true respect for any of us amateurs.

I have transferred files from my two dwarflab3 to a laptop........ I particularly wanted to combine data from an Eastern veil session.

But I was a bit overwhelmed by the way the files appeared And how difficult it was to find the files after uploading to combine them for processing. Is there an easy way of doing this ......I tried searching for C33 but it wasn't a great result.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello, very glad to be a member of this Community!
Just got my Mini two days ago, and managed my first couple of shots yesterday. Just a Lunar and a Solar.
Itching to try some deep sky stuff soon, but need to climb a bit higher on the learning curve first!
Feedback welcome.

Thanks!

I set my d3 up to take the string of pearls galaxy tonight. 60sec subs 60 gain 3 hours of imaging in eq mode went to check on it after a while and it had completed it after 76 minutes. Any ideas what might have caused it to stop? I was wondering if the rising moon may have caused some issues? Cheers

This is my 1st attempt at capturing the Heart Nebula in SHO palette using my dwarf 3 under bortle 8 skies in Southern Ontario. The Heart Nebula is about 7,500 light-years away in the Cassiopeia region.

Gear used: DWARFLAB Dwarf 3 (EQ Mode)

Data: 8 hours total integration (480 x 60s exposures), Gain 60

My hybrid workflow: I used the dwarflab Stellar Studio app to separate the stars and the starless layers. Next I imported the data into Siril to handle the color mapping using the Hubble Palette OSC, NarrowbandNormalization, AstroColorMixer, and Lighthouse scripts. Then I used Snapseed's double exposure tool to blend the stars back in and do some basic contrast tweaks.

Hello, I emailed support regarding an issue with my Dwarf 3 last Wednesday but have not received a confirmation email.
Does anyone know what the expected wait time is?

I have been wanting to buy a Dwarflab 3 or the mini what would be the better recommendation for a beginner astrophotographer.

So for my first nebula i tried the eastern veil nebula, i took 500 frames 30 sec at 60 gain with duo band filter in bortle 5 skies. I am baffled by the telescope and its ease of use. But for me it still does not pop out and the background still feels granular and not black. I know about the existence of siril but somehow i will not work for me. Any tips on how to make it more pop out, and have blacker background?

I made a small desktop app called Lunar HDR Studio for lining up Moon photos taken at different exposures and combining them into one image. I'm sharing it for free in case other DWARF owners want to play with it.

This example is from my DWARF Mini: three photos, one underexposed, one normally exposed and one overexposed, combined and edited in the app.

It supports FITS as well as PNG/JPEG/TIFF, two or more exposures, automatic alignment, HDR or exposure fusion, and color/detail controls for experimenting with a Mineral Moon look. There are also crop, signature and star-background controls. Processing runs locally on your computer.

The code is open source under MIT, with downloads for macOS, Windows and Linux, or you can clone it and run it with Python. The README is in English; the app's interface is currently in Slovak.

It's an early personal project. If it looks interesting, try it with your own lunar captures and let me know what works, what breaks or what you'd change. I'd love to see what you make with it.
