DWARF mini is particularly well suited to beginners because focusing, target locating and tracking can be automated. You don't need to learn traditional star alignment before you can begin exploring and imaging the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan DWARF mini photograph galaxies and nebulae?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It is designed for deep-sky imaging and can capture suitable galaxies, nebulae and star clusters. Image stacking builds multiple exposures into a stronger final image, while EQ Mode enables exposures of up to 90 seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes DWARF mini have GoTo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
