there is a problem with the bottomplate that people should be aware of if you tilt it to much there is a risk that it will broke and the telescope will fall to the ground there have been some discusssions about this phenomenon in the FB group

The best part of this technique is that even if you are off a little, you will still have much less field rotation. Thanks, Cuiv!

Dwarf Lab should hire you as a consultant. You have provided them them with so much feedback for product improvement, and for helping users get the best experience. Polar align is icing on the cake. Well done.

I just received my Dwarf II yesterday and I am learning a lot from your videos. I installed Siril on another PC so I can watch your Orion Nebula video and follow along on my PC. A lot to learn with Siril. Thank you for your efforts.

I would like to thank you for this video! I went to a dark sky site last night and finally attempted to polar align the Dwarf. I was able to (because of you) to get it it aligned and take some nice shots without the field rotation. Such an improvement, again I thank you!

Greetings Cuiv. Thank you for another amazing video. I have already received my Dwarf II but no clear skies. In the meantime, I continue to learn from you. Thanks again. You are truly a pro at this. I really appreciate your clarity, sense of humor and attention to detail. All the best to you.

Cuiv, thank you from a total newbie who did not have a clue where to start (even with this alignment process). Your video was straight forward, easy to follow and expanded my knowledge already. Many thanks

hallo, wieder mal super erklärt, liebe deinen kanal, weiter so

[bobmay]

Thank you, I will be trying that when the slow boat from China docks.

[YuhiGateRaho]

Outstanding video! Super awesome. You made it so simple to follow and setup! Thank you.

Look forward to using my Dwarf in equatorial mode. Have really enjoyed its capabilities, and think future smart telescopes will get better and better at astrophotography, including sophisticated post processing.

It's great to see that you are actually having fun with the the dwarf 2, it makes me want to go out and buy it.

[scottb]

Excellent explanation. Exactly what I've been looking for as I await delivery of my Dwarf2.

[LarsRathje-uozc]

Thanks a lot Cuiv. I requested this guidance and you did it! I guess you could cope with an approximate alignment because if you then get some image rotation it will be a lot less than with a horisontal alignment. Thanks again.

[krischandra]

outstanding presentation; keep up the excellent work!

Top video Cuiv. Interesting I was out in the morning when it’s still dark just before sunrise in Tasmania and thought I was being stupid for thinking the southern Cross or Crux was upside down. It makes sense now.

[johndoiron]

Mine said it's being shipped! But no changes since then. I do have a tracking number at least.

[cynditheflyingdog]

Thank you so much for the video. I happen to have an EQ wedge and a Dwarf II on the way!

[Anad]

Thank you for the clearest explanation I’ve come across on why and how to polar align.

Any chance you can make a vlog showing the polar alignment in practice and in use to photograph an actual DSO?
