Budget DWARF 3 vs $5000 Astro Rig | Capturing M31, M45 & M33 This Fall

Join me for some fun autumn nights under the stars as I capture some of the season’s most iconic deep-sky objects — the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and the Pleiades (M45) — using both my budget-friendly DWARF 3 smart telescope and my full astrophotography rig with the FF80 APO refractor and ASI2600MC Pro camera. It’s a real face-off between a grab-and-go smart scope and a nerdy, high-end setup! I’ll also finish my Triangulum Galaxy (M33) project with the FF80. See how both telescopes perform and decide if the extra gear is worth it. Smart Telescope vs Nerdy Astro Rig — Is 10× the Price Worth It? This video was sponsored by Brilliant.
