In its naked state, you can already use it and learn a whole lot about astrophotography. It's a great way to get started, and a lot of fun. The next step is to switch to equatorial mode. This will enable you to make longer exposures and thus improve the quality of your images. And then, the aim is to export the raw images and learn how to process them yourself, so as to have total control over the rendering. In short, there's plenty to do!<\/p>\n<p>Quality-wise, it's DwarfLab: excellent. It's beautiful, it's light, it'll make a splash with your friends for sure \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<h3>A few images<\/h3>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-13074-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/o\/v\/f29311def56244d4bb260b4e972fff11.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/o\/v\/f29311def56244d4bb260b4e972fff11.mp4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/o\/v\/f29311def56244d4bb260b4e972fff11.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-13074-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/o\/v\/6db0b036357340fd837ff86cfba2bc30.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/o\/v\/6db0b036357340fd837ff86cfba2bc30.mp4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/o\/v\/6db0b036357340fd837ff86cfba2bc30.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-13074-3\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/o\/v\/ad11fa68f001484db2365274ce74a135.mp4?_=3\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/o\/v\/ad11fa68f001484db2365274ce74a135.mp4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/o\/v\/ad11fa68f001484db2365274ce74a135.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le DWARF Mini Smart Telescope est un t\u00e9lescope astrophotographique intelligent ultracompact qui combine optique, capteur, monture motoris\u00e9e et traitement d\u2019images automatis\u00e9 dans un seul bo\u00eetier de seulement 840 g.
