Kleiner Riese für Tag und Nacht: Das Dwarf 3

Astrofotografie galt lange als reines Nachthobby für Geduldige mit schwerem Gepäck. Doch der Hersteller DwarfLab dreht den Spieß um. Mit dem  Smart-Teleskop „Dwarf 3“ kommt ein Gerät auf den Markt, das nicht nur Sterne fängt, sondern sich als hybrides Multitalent für Naturliebhaber entpuppt – egal ob bei einer Sonnenfinsternis, einem Bergpanorama oder dem Blick auf den Orionnebel. Schon optisch fällt das Dwarf 3 aus der Reihe. Zusammengefaltet ist es nicht größer als ein […]

It is well known that #SmartTelescopes are terrible at planets.

That said, #Jupiter is in opposition right now, so I figured I'd give it a shot with my #Dwarf3 .

This is a composite of 10x.5s for the moons and 400x1/60s for the planet. Edited and composited in #Snapseed .

Today we have a mosaic of two images, both taken the same night by two #Dwarf3 #SmartTelescopes from the roof of the studio at the back of our house, where we left them running all night, with the help of a pair of 10Ah USB-C powerpacks.

I targeted The Cat's Paw Nebula (NGC6334), while @leece targeted part of the nearby NGC6357. We both made sure to have the individual nebulae off-centre frame enough that we could get a slight overlap.

For both we have around 7 hours of exposure - 420ishx60s@80, both with the internal Ha/OIII filter.

We ran both images through the Dwarflab Stellar Studio to do a star removal, and recomposed both images with a star mask. Some final tuning in Snapseed, and then a manual combining of the two shots.

All up, about 2 hours actual effort, over three days.
