The DWARF Mini represents a significant advancement in compact astrophotography, offering a level of portability that allows it to be carried anywhere with ease. Weighing only 820g or 29oz, the device is considerably lighter and more compact than other smart telecopes. It has been engineered for rapid setup and convenience, enabling users to begin capturing images within three minutes of unboxing. Its compact body houses a 360 degree motorised mechanism that automatically locates stars, planets and galaxies through app based control on a mobile device, creating a highly streamlined experience for both new and experienced stargazers.

Despite its miniature size, the DWARF Mini incorporates a professional imaging system built around a 1/2.8 inch Sony IMX662 sensor that delivers 1080P resolution with 2.9 µm pixels. This sensor provides strong low light performance and supports detailed captures of deep sky objects, lunar surfaces and other celestial scenes. The optical system includes a 150 mm f/5 telephoto lens with a 30 mm aperture, allowing the device to gather sufficient light for high quality astrophotography while maintaining its compact form factor.

The DWARF Mini is equipped with three built in filters that enhance imaging across a variety of environments. A dark frame filter reduces thermal noise, an astro filter increases contrast in nebulae and a narrow band filter suppresses city and lunar glow. An external solar filter is included in the box for safe solar observation. These features allow the telescope to perform effectively in both dark sky and urban settings.

Long exposure capability is supported through an equatorial mount mode that compensates for the rotation of the Earth. This enables exposures of up to 90 seconds, allowing the DWARF Mini to produce stable and detailed long exposure images that are typically associated with larger and more complex equipment. The device includes 64 GB of built in storage and is powered by a 7000 mAh battery that provides up to four hours of operation, making it suitable for extended imaging sessions in the field.

The DWARF Mini is controlled through an intuitive app that simplifies object selection, tracking and image capture. The app provides access to automated functions that streamline the imaging process, while the compact size of the device makes it suitable for use in a wide range of environments including gardens, balconies, campsites and remote dark sky locations. The combination of portability, imaging performance and intelligent automation positions the DWARF Mini as a versatile tool for both astronomy and terrestrial photography.

The DWARFLAB Mini is available for £359/$399 from the DWARFLAB website with Amazon stocking soon.
