Hi Dianna. I'm just dropping in to say hello. Thanks for the Pixisight and photoshop work. I'm glad to see you work hard to get the right results.

I haven't use my Dwarf yet. I'm just a little scared in using it because I don't like the cold and wind in the winter months.

Thanks for the great photos. You made my day.
Ron & Maryellen 👥

Very nice, Diana! It's always fun to watch your videos. Keep up the good work 👏

[MrCornweda]

I am surprised with just a little editing of the stack imaged you have such a good image.

[pauliestarman]

Hello Diana, another awesome video! I love your enthusiasm and your editing skills are superb. You are the reason I have finally gotten the knack for my Dwarf2. Your teaching skills, that happy smile, and that ever awesome enthusiasm are appreciated by all of us! Could you sometime show us how to do a pano using the Dwarf2? Keep up the good work, God bless you and let's all pray the skies are clear on April 8!!!! 😊

Right now, I'm taking violin lessons as I want to expand my levels of sight and sound. I'm a piano person and want to challenge my 47 years of playing a musical instrument. 🎻
Telescopes are part of my sights!
Ron 😊

A hot cougar and astronomy. My two absolute favorite things in life.

Amazing technology these days. Where are you located at? You have some beautiful sky's there. Here in Columbus Ohio unless you live on a farm out in the sticks its hard to see the stars. Lots of light pollution. I have filters that help a lot. But I keep plugging away. That's quite a set up you have there. Excellent pictures diana.

Hi Dianna, great insight to what the dwarf 2 is capable of, contemplating whether to purchase one or not🤔
I'm definitely a noobie at this kind of stuff though, just wondering did you use any calibration pics, darks flats etc? Thanks for your great vids ❤

[tiredlocke]

Great video. I guess I need to play around with mine a lot more. The images I get stacked on the dwarf don't look anything like what I see in these videos as their initial results... And I keep running into problems attempting my own stacking with Deep Sky Stacker or Astro Pixel Processor...

Hi Diana! Well well, I just photographed the same subject (Horsehead Neb.) with my Dwarf 2 last weekend. Didn't made editing yet. So when I saw your subject I was very curious to see the result! And WOW! Very nice result! This is such a nice nebula. And you show good techniques, with emotions and laughs.😊 And by the way, nice ending too!😊 Ho and good luck with the eclipse. I'm lucky because I won't have to travel to see it. Bye Bye Diana. Nice work!

[LaVonCorbett]

What filter would you recommend for imaging the Rosetta nebula with the dwarf 2

[tooter]

Great job. I agree with other commenter re. how good a picture you got with just a little editing of the stacked image. That made this a really informative video. It would have been nice to see that picture side-by-side with the one that you spent so much time editing to see whether there are diminishing returns. Anyway, thanks again.

[joelbaker]

This is fantastic information thankyou, I'm out tonight, I'll let you know how I get on 😊

[xezlgg]

You should definitely try the Celestron C6 with Hyperstar C6V4... in less than half time can you may have a lot more deep data... thanks for share

[stevehauser]

Hi Dianna, thanks for sharing. I was wondering if you have used the dual band filters with the dwarf. Namely the 1 1/4" L enhance Ha/ Hb and S3. Seems this would be a good target for it. maybe more contrast.
Thanks for your support of the Dwarf

Enjoyed watching your live video, yesterday. We have only had a few clear nights, so have been limited in targets for the D2, but did get a pretty nice session with M81/M82 last week. Was wondering if you know the bortal level for your location? I am in bortal 5.9.

[pauliestarman]

Hi Dianna, I caught the Devil comet using the Dwarf. If I am not mistaken it appeared on one of my images as a "smudge" I did some checking online and am fairly certain it was the object my Dwarf caught. I could be wrong too 🙂

[BigPoppa-tz]

Dwarf 2 not very good soft on all pics. Even the 3 is much better but still neck n neck with seestar s50 in pics. As much as the dwarf is portable. The seestar right out of the box with internal stacking no post is still better
