Watched today's partial eclipse with my Dwarf II.
Unfortunately I didn't get all of it as I forgot to use an external battery pack and timelapse mode really drains the battery hard. Still I'm happy with what I got.

Another great capture with #DwarfII

Doing a bit of Lunography tonight - snapped from the #DwarfII live stream, so not the final capture.

Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) on 22nd October from south Oxfordshire, UK. Stack of 25x15s exposures at gain 80 using a DWARF II smart telescope. Slightly cropped and tweaked in post-processing. #astronomy #astrophotography #comet #dwarfii 🔭

Why am I up until 2:30am?
Because I found the spec for the #dwarflab #dwarf2 #dwarfii api and started building a dotnet (.net) library to control my scope.
If they made the app easier to use I wouldn't need to do this, ask anyone who's tried to set the gain/shutter speed etc with a big fat finger...

M33 and M42 this morning #astrophotography 🔭
Exp:15s (250 and 50) gain:80

Post processing : iPhone.

The DWARF II Smart Telescope is also a capable solar imager using the supplied filters. Took me just a few minutes to image today’s Sun. Stack of 50 x 1/400s exposures. Gain 0 and IR cut. A modicum of processing, cropped, rotated, sharpened and warmth adjusted 🔭 #astronomy #astrophotography #dwarfii

I took my DWARF II Smart Telescope on holiday recently as it's very portable and easy to setup and use. This is a completely unprocessed, exactly as captured image of M31. A stack of 100 x 15s exposures with a gain of 120 and IR pass. 🔭 #astronomy #astrophotography #dwarfii

Today's spotty Sun. Taken with a DWARF II Smart Telescope. No processing other than rotated and cropped. A stack of 25 x 1/400s exposures. #astronomy #sun #sunspots #dwarfii

Shot some moon through double glazing (couldn't be bothered taking it outside) during the early evening.

Sun with the #DwarfII easy peasy

Went comet hunting this morning and came up empty. Well -- almost empty. I did manage to capture M42 as the Sun was rising. Not a perfect image, but I'm learning. #astronomy #astrophotography #DwarfII

From last night: The Dumbbell Nebula (M27). Again -- a screenshot, not a complete stacking or post-processed image. Looking forward to trying my hand at processing my images of this and other objects from last night! #astronomy #astrophotography #DwarfII

Dabbling in #astrophotography for the first time thanks to the #DwarfII telescope. So far this has been fun!
