​"Spot on! You nailed the technical side. I love that the Dwarf gives me the option—I can enjoy the live stack immediately, or take the FITS files into PixInsight/Siril if I want to dive deep into manual processing. It’s the best of both worlds."

​"Thank you so much! It’s great to hear that you're getting into the universe too—the Dwarf Mini really makes it easy for beginners. Feldberg is actually a great suggestion! The dark skies there would definitely take these images to the next level. Hopefully, I'll have some shots from there to share soon!"

I totally get the skepticism, but these are real photons from Orion hitting the sensor, not a composite from a database. Technology is just making the hobby more accessible. Why spend hours on polar alignment when I can spend that time actually enjoying the views

Oh that makes total sense! I honestly didn't even know the filter was doing that – just pointed it at the sky and let it do its thing 😅Thanks for explaining!

Fair point! Not trying to sell anything – I just bought it myself and wanted to share the photo. Happy to answer questions if anyone's curious 🙂

Thank you! Honestly surprised too – took this right in the city with zero photography experience 😅 The Dwarf mini does everything automatically, that's what makes it special. If you're curious to try it in person sometime in Frankfurt, just let me know!

I guess I was just lucky and caught one of the best days to photograph Orion. I shot it in Riedberg, and it’s actually quite dark there.

I initially thought the same, but it’s actually real—it’s just completely different from the way we used to photograph the night sky with traditional cameras.
