DWARF mini — Pocket the Universe

At just 840g, the DWARF mini slips easily into a backpack or camera bag. It’s ideal for rooftop observing, countryside dark-sky trips, holidays, or quick grab-and-go sessions under clear skies.

Night-Long Power, Zero Worries

The built-in 7000mAh battery provides power for extended imaging sessions, and you can connect an external USB power bank to run even longer. Perfect for remote sites where mains power isn’t available.

Imaging Precision with Sony IMX662

DWARF mini is powered by the proven Sony IMX662 sensor, offering:

• 1/2.8-inch sensor size
• 2.9 μm pixels

This combination delivers low read noise, high sensitivity and clean detail, helping you reveal faint nebulae, star clusters and galaxies even from less-than-perfect skies.

Ready in Just 3 Minutes

The DWARF mini automates the time-consuming setup stages:

• Focusing
• Calibration
• GoTo alignment

With EQ Mode and exposures of up to 90 seconds, the DWARF mini can capture deep-sky objects with impressive clarity, stacking images automatically in the app.

360° Pan & Flexible Framing

A full 360° pan/tilt system combined with 225° lens rotation provides flexible framing and smooth tracking. This helps maintain accurate tracking during long exposures and allows you to compose your field of view exactly how you want it.

Stellar Studio – One-Tap Image Processing

Traditional astrophotography often needs a laptop and complicated software. With DWARF mini, you can stack, process and tweak your images directly on your smartphone or tablet via the Dwarflab app and its Stellar Studio tools.

DWARF mini and DWARF 3 – Side by Side

The DWARF mini is not a replacement for the DWARF 3 – it is a lighter, more compact partner in the range. For users who prioritise ultra-portability, the mini is ideal. For maximum resolution, the DWARF 3 still has the edge.

• DWARF 3 telephoto sensor: approx. 8MP resolution
• DWARF mini telephoto sensor: approx. 2MP resolution
• DWARF 3 aperture: 35mm
• DWARF mini aperture: 30mm

In short: DWARF 3 offers higher resolution and a slightly larger aperture, while DWARF mini focuses on ultra-light, ultra-portable observing and imaging with excellent performance for its size.
