No Promised Improvement, Refuses to Connect
This update was supposed to improve connection a reduce problems, in fact connection problems are much worse now, it requires or resets the WiFi password over and over and will not connect to the telescope to show the new features. Don’t update if you can possibly help it.
Still feels unfinished
Eq mode only calibrates in the dark so there’s no pre setting up the dwarf or using schedule. Schedule is broken anyway. Timelapse is a format iPhone and Android can’t view…
So 10:30 rolls around and you still have to focus, align eq, create darks, physically touch the lens to rotate and remove cap after darks, re calibrate eq because you don’t trust it after you did darks and touched the lens, /re locate a target, focus again, now it’s 11:45 and you might get something red if you leave it for the night with some lines running through your photo.
Why anyone would have to physically “rotate the camera and face it towards the sky” when it’s a motorized unit confuses me and always throws off alignments.
I feel like I’m the beta tester for the next model.

Good Quality, minor tracking issues, atlas QoL update suggestions
The app itself can be mildly clunky at times, but not that insane. I'd call it decent quality overall. The camera itself works good, especially for the price. It does, unfortunately, struggle to track Azimuth objects like Pinwheel or M13 though, it works much better on lower large sky objects. I've taken numerous good quality image stacks under rural skies between city and town light domes. I also wish DL would give us a "manual" auto tracking mode. I haven't found one if there is, and what I mean is that after I point it at a random section of sky, we can set the camera to auto-track that random section. Regardless, the DWARF 3 is definitely worth the buy and I would definitely recommend to any person wanting to give deep sky imaging a run. The Atlas is nice to, because I can use other apps to find an object and then search it in the atlas. I would also like it if DL would consider adding a cardinal (North, South, East, West) directional indicator for their Atlas objects. Right now the Atlas only gives degrees. A direction indicator could save some time for amateurs who are learning the sky and let them disregard objects that might be behind trees or buildings they are near.

Won’t connect
Have to forget my wifi to connect, and then I can’t login to stellar studio.
Schlecht
Erkennt oftmals die Objekte nicht. Verbindung zum Handy braucht sehr sehr lange.
