What makes it especially clever, is that you can just aim it at a clear patch of night sky and it uses a built in artificial intelligence driven stellar pattern recognition system and GPS to calibrate itself and figure out where it is and where to point at to see whatever you are looking for.

It does daytime object tracking as well, for bird watching, daytime sun and moon tracking, etc. (Don’t point it towards the sun without the sun filters stuck on it.)

No complex polar alignment needed, but you can actually do that as well for even better Equatorially aligned astrophotography. (It does it’s own capturing and stacking too...)

The Orion Nebula, as captured tonight with a Dwarf 2 pocket smart telescope in Reno. (after letting it stack 100 or so 15 second exposures. (The first stacked image is at the top of this post. (I tidied the end result up a bit with the iPad photo editor.))

Raw from the telescope: (Before I edited it.)

The best tool for watching for "Sky Events" I've laid my hands on so far.
