We will begin with a information session on the the telescope followed by a live virtual meeting with members of the Dwarf Lab team from Hong Kong. Please also plan to enjoy some local pizza and fellowship as we observe the dark skies from this premier amateur astronomy venue. Questions may be submitted early on the sign up link below.  We will also have some door prizes for a few lucky attendees.

A state-of-the-art upgrade to the AI Smart Telescope from DwarfLabs, the Dwarf 3 brings more: more optics, more image sensor, more battery, more storage, and more processing power! If you're looking for an ultra-portable, easy-to-use, smart telescope package that is ready for viewing objects both near and far, look no further!

The Dwarf 3 Smart Telescope offers a unique perspective in the smart telescope market by packing in two of them — a 737 mm equivalent telescopic view and a 45 mm equivalent wide-angle. That's a longer total reach than the previous model while maintaining a similarly large FOV wide-angle, allowing you to as much and more than before! This increased optical performance has been paired with a more powerful sensor and Neural Processing Unit, meaning whether you're tracking birds, stitching together panoramas, or imaging deep space objects, you'll get cleaner images in less time. Battery capacity and storage have been increased as well, with a 10,000 mAh internal battery and 128GB of built-in eMMC hard dive space that will ensure you can make the most out of your imaging sessions at home, a neighborhood star party, or weekend camping trip!  - High Point Scientific
