What are your thoughts on the ZWO SEESTAR ?

@jeffjones2740 i prefer the Dwarf or the 6" Virtuoso. I was contacted by Zwo to review it and i declined.

Well, as I was packing up my Astrophotography rig including my iOptron Mount, Orion Refractor, DSLR eyepiece projection tube, eyepieces, calibration and ZWO tracking camera, Astroberry, Shoestring Astronomy FCUSB, Car Battery, 12v to USBC/USB Power Supply, Camera, Cords, and Laptop I decided maybe the Dwarf II would be ideal for a night like tonight. It's partly cloudy, no guarantee of a clear view of Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF. After reviewing the video of Tiago getting a successful photo of the comet with Dwarf II I figured I'll give the Dwarf II a try. I'll update the channel with my findings.

Thanks for info.....can you post more footage during daytime or more terrestrial abjects?.....time lapse mode?

I just purchased one and am looking forward to getting it and trying it out.. I saw that it is possible to take gigapixel panorama shots. In a future video could show how to do that.

I will for sure 👍

Such an Awesome Video Thank You!

Thanks Tiago. I think given the very small aperture, you cannot set too high your expectations. Certainly The Horsehead nebula and Thors Helmut are really a bit beyond this scopes intended target range but you were able to see them which is impressive. Since it appears that it tracks to compensate for the rotation of the Earth, how easy is it to set it up? I’m asking because this would be a fun scope to take on trips and speed of set up is important.

You should track their webpage for news because they are releasing iphone version.

Any camera with a digital sensor has the same effect when the sensor get hot. Even with my DSLR when I take a long sequence of night photos with very long exposures will get hot. Dwarf ii uses the same sensor which will give the same issue.

Can I ask a question please? Is it worth to buy it or not? Because I’m 14 and love to explore cosmos etc. So buying it for too much cost is fair? This is the first to buy a telescope so.. If not this can u recommend other..

I wish I could have gotten a Dobsonian, and if life weren't as busy with work and family I probably would have. I just ordered the Dwarf II and am patiently waiting for it to arrive.

Welp, it seems real nice and interesting but the turn off is planets. What is the problem with doing planets? I’ve noticed another beginner auto scope that has the same capability and deficiency. Is it the focal length? Moon is good, sun is good, deep space is good, but not in between? Thanks

Tiago, I created a Dwarf II configuration for Stellarium, I created an entry for Dwarf II wide, Dwarf II Telephoto, and the Sony IMX415 sensor. I wanted to get a sense of what was viewable with Dwarf II. Can you capture an image of "The Lost Jewel of Orion" with your Dwarf II to see if it matches my expectations ? The Sculptor Galaxy looks like it will be a a great target and "The Witch Head Nebula" may be may be a viable target too !

The controls for this telescope are too finicky for me. I'd personally be more into a smart telescope that uses a Windows PC for its "brains". Something fully automated for the best results. Like a home observatory that I can put in the yard, set it up, then leave it to do everything.

What if... the device identifies the stars and merges the image with a internal recorded HR map of sky...?

Taking darks gets rid of those hot pixels, you do this with astro dark mode. Also as this is not a cooled camera gives hot pixels and the only way around if is cooling the sensor, which is why dedicated astro cameras have cooling to go way past 0 degrees

Nope. Before this firmware upgrade the darks were doing nothing live stacking and now they are working while stacking.
