Hi Beau! I like mine a lot. I have Dwarf 2 and 3 and captured many sky objects, including solar eclipses and comets. I have many videos of it. I also own several telescopes and mounts , but Dwarf is easy and precise, and the images are great for $500. telescope. Thanks for watching my video and for your comment. Diana ❤️

I would like to get a taller tripod with the D3. What would you suggest? Thanks. 😊

Thanks for watching! I’ll be back soon with all the new information!

Hi xe1zlgg, I believe so, too. I edit my images, so I delete the bad ones. The problem is that most users like to use the stacked image from live stacking. In the end, it is pretty much what you just said. Thanks for watching my video and for your input! I appreciate it! Diana

Hi Les! Yes, I can imagine the same problem in Solar imaging. This may be a flaw combined with possible guiding or seeing conditions problems. Thanks for watching my video and your support! Diana

Hi Lorax! I can't believe you are still waiting for your Dwarf 3. I can only think of editing the stacked image using external editing software. Pixinsight has Blur X Terminator, which can fix a lot of issues. The telescope doesn't have this capability. Siril can do a decent job, but I prefer Pixinsight. I hope you get your Dwarf 3 soon! Thanks for your support! Diana

@@yourfavoriteastronerd Okay, thank you. I will look into getting PixInsight.

Hi Brotell! Thanks for watching my video. It is a hot topic, for sure, and I wanted to follow up. I am always thankful for your comments! Diana

Hey Bommel! I love this idea! I will definitely do it! I am taking notes and will make a video in a couple of weeks after my trip and all this bad weather is gone! Excellent! Thanks for helping me on this "hot" topic! Diana

My Dear Penguin! Thanks for the compliments! Did you know I also own a Pet Raccoon? Are you Boricua? From where? Diana

@yourfavoriteastronerd I am from Bayamon but I have family all over and I did know that! I love your racoon I hope I meet him someday.

@yourfavoriteastronerd I am Puerto Rican and Korean and United States.

@@yourfavoriteastronerd maybe I can meet you at your upcoming show in orlando. Are you single or married? Will you bring the racoon?

@TheMoogsician The Raccoon doesn't travel with me, I am married, and he is the guitar player in the band. The show is in Weirsdale FL.

Hey Michael! That's a lot of bad frames! I get 10 -20 bad frames in some sessions. To lower the exposure time to 10 and 15 is not right for Dwarf 3. If that's the case, then it is another Dwarf 2. I will talk to them in Las Vegas; there must be another solution. Stay tuned, and I may find the solution for you, or your device may need to be replaced. Diana😔

@yourfavoriteastronerd Diana, I will be at the Dwarflab booth Tuesday morning. Let me know when you'll be there, & maybe we can meet to compare notes. I will have my Dwarf 3 with me.

@@michaelsandell1622 I will be there! See you then!

@yourfavoriteastronerd so I tried the shorter exposure time last night. Seemed OK at first, but at 200 frames, it just flat-out quit stacking! Very sad! 😢

Hi Otrondal! Right on! I heard the smart telescopes are going to 90 seconds soon! I will find out in Las Vegas this week. I own several telescopes and mounts, and I won't do less than 2 mins per frame on nebulas and galaxies. 30 secs on star clusters and 60 on Dwarf! Thanks for your support and comment! Diana

I'm glad you found the information helpful! Troubleshooting can be tricky, but having some solid fixes in your toolkit is great. Diana

Oh no! I hear you! Sad to hear that. I hope you get the shipping notification soon! Thanks for watching my videos even without having the telescope; it means a lot to me. Diana

@@yourfavoriteastronerd i watch alot of them! good info!

Thanks! I’ll be sure to take my telescope to Vegas-who knows what stars I might find there!

Hi Pedala! It was nice talking to you again! Yes, I hear you! This is a hot topic right now for all of us. For me, the solution is to use the raw images, and I am used to checking seeing conditions, but you have a great point regarding the technology with light pollution. I will talk to them in Las Vegas as my number one topic! Thanks for your input on this! Always thankful! Diana

@@yourfavoriteastronerd Thank you for your videos!

@@pedalajones You are welcome! I will come back from Las Vegas with lots of new astrophotography toys and information. Diana

Have fun in Vegas Diane! Make good choices! LOL

@@spacecadet6575 Hey Glen, what happens in Las Vegas is returning with me! New Astrophotography Toys!!!! Stay tuned!

Thanks, Andre! Yes, it happens occasionally. It may be a flaw or, like I said, seeing conditions. I struggled with this with my big telescope. I was furious and frustrated that after all the calibration, polar alignment, and great guiding software, I was getting elongated stars. Well, it was and still is caused by high clouds. Ya estoy lista para las Vegas mañana! Voy a grabar alla muchas cosas!

This is when it happens for me also, in the beginning. I usually just stop and wait and restart the session once the tracking settles in. Last night I had a scheduled session and I saw the same thing happen at the beginning of each object session. I didn’t want to stop it, so I just watched and waited. The bad images didn’t record and then once it resolved the stacking started up and the images were fine. Made me think the problem is it takes a bit of time for the tracking to settle in. It seems to happen regardless of exposure time for me.

@@pennywhitemusic Hi Penny! Thanks for all the details! Yes, I experienced this, too, and it was confusing and frustrating. As I mentioned, I sent Dwarflab the log files, and they couldn't find any problems, so then I started thinking about my other telescopes and mounts. I had this before, all related to seeing conditions here and there, but it may be just a flaw in the telescope. I am leaving tomorrow for Las Vegas and will be there with Dwarflab, so I will talk about this for sure, as I get lots of comments and questions about it. I appreciate your information. Diana

@ thank you! Excited for you to meet the team in person - have fun!!!

@@pennywhitemusic Thanks Penny! I am sure it is going to be a great experience!

Hola Andre! I have been nonstop for the last days, getting ready for Las Vegas on Tuesday. Recording and preparing the videos for CES. I will be recording from there too. Estoy como una loca pero pronto vuelvo a la normalidad. Feliz Año Nuevo!

@ Feliz ano novo! 🎊🎆

Thanks Beautiful Canela!

You're welcome! Get ready for some amazing celestial sights!

@johnwatzke7174 Hi John! If you can see Polaris is better to point at Polaris, the lenses pointing at Polaris the best you can. I made 2 videos about this. Let me get the links

@@johnwatzke7174 Once the EQ process starts , don't touch the lenses anymore until it says EQ success. Then you start the calibration and don't touch the lenses.

@@johnwatzke7174 check that link. In this video, I showed the EQ process and the main problems. Keep me posted, I hope this helps. Diana

@@autumnorman1506-c6g Happy New Year!

@michaelsandell1622 That's great! I will be there for the first 3 days. See you then!!!

Diana, need a suggestion for a DSO to image with my Dwarf 3 before CES, please. Already done Andromeda & the North American Nebula. Could do the Nebula again, as my first attempt was pretty lame. Suggestions as to exposure & gain also appreciated. Any thoughts?

@terrycan7507 Hi Terry! Thanks for writing to me. I own a celestron rasa 11 and several telescopes and mounts. The 8 mins capture time is for total time ,like the imaging session. The shutter speed is automatic, and the ISO. The moon images are stock images, just like everybody uses them to keep the video exciting. I have seen very good Moon images taken with cellphones, very close to what I posted. I will be testing the phone soon and will follow up on this video. Happy New Year ! Diana

I believe she is talking about the app and basic settings in general. She never said that those are images taken with a Samsung.

@spacecadet6575 Hi Glen! Merry Christmas! Me either! It started with Samsung 22 , so a couple of years or so. I have been fighting with myself not to use cellphones for this, but I finally surrendered and realized that they could do a good job for a big percentage of the population. I am going to make short tutoriasl on them, BUT my number one option is traditional telescopes 🔭. I am a dinosaur 🦕 🙂 😎 Diana

Hi RR, I hear you! It's sad and wrong. I received many comments like yours, and I understand. I am going to see the Dwarflab team in a few days at the CES show in Las Vegas and will tell them about the frustration of not having the telescope yet. Honestly, I don't understand why it took this long when Dwarf 2 had a short waiting period. Thanks for watching my video and for your support! Happy New Year! I will let you know soon.

Good Girl Canela! 😆

I love dinosaurs, too! Let's explore the universe together. Happy New Year! Diana

Hi, iam69r1. Yes, it can be an artistic expression, too! I love compositions with star trails. We get obsessed with perfect stars, but we all know that only good technology can fix them. Thanks for watching my video and for your support. Happy New Year! Diana

Hi Dave! I have other friends who had the same problem. I sent Dwarflab the Log files back then, and they couldn't find the problem. I still believe it suffers from poor tracking occasionally. The problem is with the stacked image. Most new users will use the stacked image, which won't look good unless we delete the bad frames. Thanks for your comment and for your support! Happy New Year! Diana

@@yourfavoriteastronerd Wishing you a Happy New Year too! Incidentally the stacked image I made looked fine unless I zoomed right in then the stars looked slightly elongated. I wondered if the AI Denoise process deselected the frames with bad stars? Thanks for your efforts taken to contact DwarfLab.

Hi! Happy Holidays! I am glad to see you again! Do you have Seestar 50? I am getting one any day now, so I will be testing it and making short tutorials on settings. How long is the wait for Seestar 30?

@yourfavoriteastronerd I don't have the S50, but if I like the S30 I would be tempted to get one. My traditional set up is a Redcat 51 with a modified dslr on an EQM 35 mount. This takes very nice images, but when there is only an hour or so of clear weather, it's not worth setting this rig up. I thought that even though the S30 will not be able to compete with a Redcat in terms of image quality, getting any image is better than no image at all. I ordered my S30 in early December, so will have to wait until Feb / March for it to arrive.
