DwarfLab Dwarf mini - Photo Comparison

In progress

On this page, I compare photos taken with my DwarfLab Dwarf mini with those taken with my sold Vaonis Vespera.

Introduction

On this page, I compare photos taken with my DwarfLab Dwarf mini with those taken with my sold Vaonis Vespera. Those is the closest "match" to the mini, particularly, because the sensors are similar (the one in the mini is the newer version of the one in the Vespera).

Note that such comparisons have to be taken with "a grain of salt"...

I will continue to add to the list as I record more DSOs with the Dwarf mini that I also recorded with the Vespera.
