SUMMARY
Dwarflab has launched the Draco, a smart telescope designed for automated astrophotography. It features a 90mm f/3.8 optical system, significantly larger than its competitors, and a 1/1.3-inch, 50-megapixel CMOS sensor that can bin pixels for deep-sky objects or use full resolution for lunar and planetary imaging. The Draco allows for five-minute exposures in standard alt-azimuth mode by utilizing a rotating sensor to compensate for field rotation, eliminating the need for separate guiding equipment or polar alignment. It comes in two editions, with pricing starting at $1,299 for the Standard Edition and $1,499 for the SHO Edition.
