Been a while since I posted, sorry! Here's some star trails for you, taken with the Dwarf3 Smart Scope.

BRIGHT EDGES

I want to have bright edges,
not sharp ones
which grip the bone.

I want to be sanded away, with quartz,
glowing,
neuroses blended with dawnlight.

Softly, so softly
the edges breathe, luminous.
Pure colors pierce me:
speaking; healing the world.

I found this statue while hiking in a Bortle 3 site in the California coastal range. Credit should go to its original creator whose name I sadly don't know!

Erster Test: DWARF Mini Smart Telescope Astrofotografie im Taschenformat

Smarte Teleskope haben in den letzten Jahren die Astronomie für viele Menschen deutlich zugänglicher gemacht. Mit dem DWARF Mini Smart Telescope geht DWARFLAB nun einen Schritt weiter: noch kleiner, noch mobiler und dennoch vollgepackt mit Technik.
