Dwarf 2 compatible accessories explained, along with additional items for purchase.
Let's dive into the world of Dwarf 2 smart telescope accessories and answer all your burning questions!
Dwarf 2 Accessory Extravaganza
Here's a rundown of the accessories that come with the Dwarf II Deluxe package or can be bought separately:
Portable Carry Case
This bad boy fits your Dwarf 2 like a glove, ensuring it stays safe and secure during transport. It also comes with a detachable strap, so schlepping it around town is a breeze.
Mini Tripod
The included mini tabletop tripod is perfect for using on a raised surface (like your coffee table, obviously). Plus, it's compatible with regular camera tripods, thanks to the standard thread/screw.
UHC Filter
UHC (Ultra High Contrast) filters are your new best friend when deep sky imaging with the Dwarf 2. They'll enhance contrast and detail, reduce light pollution, and make your celestial shots pop!
ND Filter Set
ND (Neutral Density) filters are crucial when photographing the sun. By reducing the exposure to light, they'll improve your photo quality, and let the sun appear naturally orange when shooting through the DWARF II.
Filter Adapter
The Dwarf 2 filter adapter is a lifesaver. It magnetically attaches to the lens protection glass on your telescope, allowing you to slip those ND and UHC filters on easily.
SD Card
This is your standard camera SD card for memory, perfect for storing all those beautiful images you'll snap with your Dwarf 2.
TinyScope Mobile Microscope (Unconfirmed)
While not officially a Dwarf 2 accessory, this gadget lets you transform your smartphone into a microscope. And for around $30-$40 (according to the Tinyscope website), you can't really go wrong.
Dwarf 2 Battery
With a 5600mAh lithium battery, you can enjoy three to four hours of telescopic bliss before needing to recharge. One is included with the Classic package, and two come with the Deluxe package. And fear not; Dwarflab sells spares separately!
3D Printed Dwarf 2 Accessories
If you're feeling creative, there are a slew of 3D-printed accessories available for the Dwarf 2. Here are a few cool options:
Bahtinov Mask
This 3D-printed Bahtinov Mask will help you focus your telescope like a pro. And the best part? You can find it on Etsy!
Base Plate Saver
This dinky contraption helps mount your Dwarf 2 onto a tripod. You can grab it on Etsy, too!
Polar Alignment Scope
Finding your way with the Dwarf 2 just got easier. This slips onto the side of your telescope, making polar alignment a piece of cake.
EQ Support Cradle
Want to set up your Dwarf 2 for equatorial imaging? This 3D-printed cradle supports the Azimuth motor and gears, making it a must-have accessory. The files for this can be found on the Dwarf 2 users Facebook Group.
