Chine, Shenzhen · founded in 2021
The dual-band filter supplied as standard, and the lowest entry price.
The disruptor. DwarfLab broke the entry price of the smart telescope. It fitted a recent sensor, a dual-band filter and an equatorial mount into a body the size of a book. No other device gives as much for its price as the DWARF 3.

The range
Rapport d'ouverture : the focal length divided by the diameter, written f/, and the smaller that number, the faster the image forms. Monture azimutale : it moves in altitude and in rotation, but the field turns during the night. Monture équatoriale : one axis set on that of the Earth, so that the field no longer turns.
f/4,3 · Sony IMX678 STARVIS 2
35 mm of aperture, a STARVIS 2 sensor, a built-in dual-band filter, an equatorial mode. It is the best result per euro of the devices compared here.

f/5 · Sony IMX662
The smallest smart telescope on the market. 30 mm in a body of 840 g, filters included.
1h on l'Origin = 5h 10m here
f/3,8 · OmniVision OV50Q40
90 mm in a 5.5 kg body, with a sensor that turns on itself to cancel out the rotation of the sky. DwarfLab leaves the small format behind and aims at the portable observatory.

This equivalence says nothing about resolution, about the field or about optical quality: f/2,2 on 152 mm and f/5,3 on 30 mm do not photograph the same objects. Worked out from the published focal ratios alone, with sensor, sky and target held identical.

No manufacturer image, no stock image. Each thumbnail keeps the aspect ratio of its sensor: the shape of the frame says which instrument the photograph was made with.
