Also asking the same question, but for astrophotography since I’m leaving the country up to northern hemisphere so prolly travelling without my rig. Doing a bit of research on dwarf 3 (done enough for seestar already), I’d say dwarf 3 undeniably has a better sensor, but other criteria on astrophotography such as tracking accuracy and exposure time length is still pretty much still unknown to us. So I’d say give a bit of time for dwarf 3 for ppl to test out. If you can’t wait, I’d get a seestar for deep sky astrophotography (which I’m into) and dwarf 3 for widefield such as milkway photography. Also for portable dwarf wins.

Dwarf 3 vs Seestar S30, pros and cons - Smart Telescopes - Cloudy Nights
March 17, 2026 - I'm thinking of adding a quick grab and go smart telescope to my collection and recently watched Astrobiscuit's testing of a Dwarf 3 and the SeeStar S30.

r/astrophotography on Reddit: Dwarf 3 or Seestar S50?
July 29, 2024 -
I'm a novice to astrophotography and I've stumbled across the Dwarf and Seestar telescopes and I'm curious which one seems like a better buy? I own an Orion Starblast 4.5 dobsonian but there are a lot of limitations to this telescope, mainly that I live in a very light polluted area, it's not easy to transport, and has manual tracking. I have some physical limitations so having a portable scope to take pictures of deep sky objects with very little equipment is appealing to me. I've heard a lot of good things about the Seestar telescope, but the Dwarf 3 appears to have a tracking feature but is slightly more expensive. Any thoughts on this?

basically what the title says. which one is better for taking pictures of deep sky objects (specifically galaxies) Im looking at getting a smart telescope before I jump into the more expensive side of astrophotography and get a full blown rig.
My only dislike between the two is the fact that the Seestar has the wierd FOV that reminds me of a phone screen. otherwise any suggestions would be amazing.
Edit: I know the dwarf 3 is also very new, so some comparisons could be made to the dwarf ii
