Considering how this is CZcams shorts, I was half expecting to see like a tentacle or something coming out from the shaded side lol.

oh wow 👍

👌🌒

Amazing!

Was the App constantly throwing you out or was it you just getting used to it? Great video... the next will need to be the S50 v DL2 v DL3😅

I love what I’m seeing here. But I’ve got a limited retirement budget. So I’m holding out for the Seestar 130mm or 180? I’ve gotten aperture fever.

I’ve always wanted to get a telescope. I know there’s a steep learning curve and the hobby can be expensive. I say that out of the gate because those two things are what people in comments elsewhere have said to discourage me from picking up the hobby. I knew those things before other people decided I was too stupid to be able to pick up the hobby. People have been really mean about it when I’ve asked questions on other channels. I love space science and physics. I’ve been looking at smart telescopes for a bit because I’m a beginner. This telescope looks easy to use and takes great photos. When my significant other gets his bonus check next month, I will likely buy a Dwarf 3. It’s cool to see it in use.

Greetings

Iceland Calling, This is very exciting, I look forward to weekend streams!!

Was it great fun to use? 😊

Maybe ill choose sneezy 👍

THAT was M42 with only 1 stack???? That is better than (my) D2 after 25 stacks 😅 Gain 120, are you in a really dark place or is the D3 just able to do higher gains? 120 would be too bright for the small city I’m in. Interesting first lights dr J. 👍

So Happy for you receiving your Dwarf III Happy! Very relieved they didn't dismantle it before it got to you.... very important ... I am looking forward to your absolutely fantastic streams of whats going up there, that we would ordinarily not be able to see without your joy and enthusiam providing it for us all the time!! Thank you Dr. J !! 🦌

How can we use EQ Mode?!

Congrats Dr. J on your new scope. Will be watching your experience with it.

Hello, I wonder why that little turning wheel in the application - indicating Dwarf 2/3 is busy searching for (doing) something - still (after so many updates!) partially covers messages on screen. These messages are certainly standardized and would soon be learned by heart, but why they (still!) allowed the overlap is beyond me. Thanks!

Great news

Did the bag that it came with have a strong smell to it? I remember the Dwarf 2 packaging was nasty smelling IMO.

Hey dr J. Congrats on your new arrival !! I hear you say ND100.000 filter instead of ND1.000.000? Normally I use 1/400 for the D2. I guess we need even shorter times then for the D3? Okay, watching the rest now :) The D3 is 210 grams heavier, not a whole kilogram like you said at the end. But good to check if your mount can handle that extra weight. And I already use the new app, a beta version I believe (V2.30 B12). Which version are you using for your D2?

Iceland Calling, Congrats!! Bark Bark :)

Good to see that slowly but surely more and more people are getting their Dwarf 3 telescopes. Honestly so excited for mine to ship out eventually, I just hope the app is ready by the time i receive it.

Hello, I'm trying to understand what this ”Equatorial Mode” for Seestar is. My understanding was, Seestar cannot operate like that, because it requires horizontality ... I also don't recall seeing such an option from its software. Is then this ”Equatorial mode” simply aligning the vertical/azimuth axis of Seestar with the North Pole ? If not, then I can't tell what it is, nor how it could be achieved. Thanks.

That's so cool you caught him coming down the driveway. Beautiful house & scenery😊🌲🌼🐕Yeah on your Dwarf III!!🎈🎉🍾Maybe they just xrayed it??🙄

Sorry missed it, long day here, hope it was fun👋

Awesome

That's great 👍

Good stuff. I can't wait to see your new images and how they compare with the D2 😊

Which tripod to buy for D3 as its not provided in the box

ok, now i'm just jealous.

Very nice, lucky you, still waiting.

Glad to see DHL was a few places today....so of course clouds here. Hope you have better skies. NY Customs must be more strict than FL customs.

🙌Pretty

Looks like you were on a long time last night. Glad you had the Lawrence Welk group up😁

My dwarf 2 unit recently has star tracking issue - stars drift to the left of the screen every like 20 seconds, but it has never happened before and I could get great results of deep sky objects before. Do you know what might be causing this?

😊

I vote for Bashful

Do you notice any improvement in sharpness when using EQ mode for S50 and Dwarf II? Because than the device (Dwarf II) is actually only moving around the base (so no movement by the lens then)?

Great news dr J. How is the weather for the night of september 11 and 12 😂 ⭐️🌟💫

I also vote for Happy and maybe name the old Dwarf II Grumpy! 😂

Sorry missed it again. Slept in then work etc...hit or miss during weekdays when I can drop on🌸🌵🖥

Good morning. My vote is Happy 😁

So what should i order 🙃 , dwarf 3 or seestar s50? Well there is no seller for dwarf 3 in my country sadly and importing it would cost me lot more but i can order it via relative from usa :) , so should i purchase a dwarf 3 only or seestar s50 ?

👍✈️☀️

So you got to go in to station mode link is

How do u get good pictures? I struggle getting a good picture, even with and adapter

Morning. Sorry missed the live, slept in. Happy Sunday😊

Very nice comparison! I’m on the fence about Dwarf III versus Seestar. I have really enjoyed Dwarf II. It nicely complements my EvScope for DSOs that need a larger field of view. Still, I have been impressed by the image quality with Seestar.

Thanks for doing the math on this. Power in the field is a critical part of this hobby. For many years, my solution has been a 17 amp hour lead acid car jumper battery. It would run my AVX/computer for a couple of hour with no worries. Having the ability to help out others was a big plus, too. The SS has solved all my field power needs.

Nice tour of the batteries & generators thanks😊🌠🔋🔌
