Dwarflab Smart Telescope AP 30/150 mini (88212)

DWARF Mini Smart Telescope

The DWARF mini sets a new benchmark for portability in the world of smart telescopes. With a weight of just 840 grams, it is currently the lightest model in its class, while still delivering the convenience and performance expected from a modern, intelligent telescope. Compact, powerful, and intuitive, it is designed to make astronomy accessible almost anywhere.

Within minutes, the DWARF mini is ready to explore the night sky. It automatically calibrates itself, locates selected celestial objects, and keeps them precisely centered. Capturing detailed views of lunar craters, distant galaxies, glowing nebulae, or wide-angle images of the Milky Way becomes effortless, even for beginners.

Telephoto Camera with Sony IMX662 Sensor

The telephoto lens is equipped with a Sony IMX662 Maker sensor, optimized for astrophotography:

• Sensor format: 1/2.8 inch

• Pixel size: 2.9 µm

• Resolution: 1920 × 1080 (Full HD, 2 MP)

• Maximum exposure time: up to 90 seconds

Supported File Formats

Depending on the operating mode, files are saved in the following formats:

• Photos: JPG

• Videos: MP4

• Astronomy mode: FITS or TIFF

Integrated Filter System for Astrophotography

The DWARF mini includes a built-in filter system specifically designed for typical astrophotography applications:

• Dark frame filter: Automatically records dark frames to reduce sensor noise, thermal artefacts, and hot pixels during long exposures, improving image quality and simplifying post-processing.

• Astro broadband filter (430–690 nm): Reduces UV and infrared light, enhances contrast, and is well suited for deep-sky objects such as galaxies and star clusters.

• Dual narrow-band filter (Hα 656.3 nm and O III 500.7 nm): Allows hydrogen and oxygen emission lines to pass while blocking unwanted light, making it ideal for emission nebulae under light-polluted skies or moonlight.

Wide-Angle Camera with OmniVision Sensor

For landscape and wide-field sky imaging, the DWARF mini features a wide-angle camera with an OmniVision OS02K10 sensor:

• Lens: 3.4 mm with 6.7 mm focal length

• Sensor format: 1/2.8 inch

• Pixel size: 2.9 µm

• Resolution: 1920 × 1080 (Full HD, 2 MP)

• Maximum exposure time: up to 30 seconds

Smart Image Processing with the App

The accompanying app includes Stellar Studio, which automatically stacks multiple images into a single composite. This stacking process improves the signal-to-noise ratio, allowing impressive results even with relatively short exposures. The app also performs automatic star correction, noise reduction, and detail enhancement.

MegaStack functionality allows images captured over several nights to be combined into a single final image.

Mount, Movement, and Connectivity

The telescope can rotate 360° in azimuth and 225° in elevation, allowing it to reach virtually any point in the sky once set up. Internal storage of 64 GB supports extended imaging sessions. Data can be transferred via Wi-Fi or a USB Type-C cable. Wi-Fi range is approximately 15 meters in open areas.

The integrated 7000 mAh battery provides up to 4 hours of operation and can be fully recharged in around 100 minutes using the included Type-C cable.
