Using The DwarfLabs App
I am looking for Language translators. If you can translate this page and any of the tutorial pages, and you are happy to volunteer your time to do it then I will be very grateful.
Online translators are not reliable and I would like to get the translations right.
Please contact me via email if you can help - paul@smartastro.co.uk
The Dwarf III smart telescope is accompanied by a free app downloadable from the Google Play Store and iOS App Store. It is the only way that one can connect to and control ones Dwarf III telescope.
This is the main screen that you are presented with when you open up the DwarfLabs app. A successful connection means that the word "Photo" is displayed in the center of the screen.
From here you can use the buttons on the bottom of the screen to access certain parts of the app. The Atlas section is a new feature that allows you to see the night sky as it is for the current date and time. You can use this to plan your astro-imaging session.
The Album section allows you to view any pictures saved to your phone from the Dwarf 3 and any pictures stored on the device (the Dwarf 3 needs to be connected to access the latter images).
The first button we will deal with is the "Settings" button located in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

Click on the "My Device" tab.

This opens up the device settings menu page. Here you can see information relating to your device.
You can change the device name and password here. It is adviseable to do this now for security reasons.
This is also where you can perform firmware upgrades as and when they may be available.

Now go back and select the "Connection Settings" tab.

This is where you find all the settings relating to the WiFi connection. These are fairly self explanatory with handy descriptions underneath.

All that is now left to do is to connect to the cameras and start taking your first astro-images!!!
Return to the home page of the app by pressing the "Home" tab in the bottom left of the screen. Now just click on "Photo" that is in the center of the screen and this will take to the next step
