I believe Dwarf II crowdfunding started back in 2021. I barely knew about the first Dwarf device, so when I heard the rumors of the new “smart” telescopes, I kinda wished I hadn’t invested so much on short tube telescopes already. There is something fundamentally beautiful, different even, being able to see through what the night sky hides from bare eyes — but being able to see something only through computational imaging can see, without much works or equipments, and converse about the observations, that was something I could not do on my own with traditional telescopes.
