DWARFLAB DRACO Smart Telescope - Standard Edition
Product information



Wide Angle 23.3mm Equivalent Focal Length
D 85.74° / H 73.20° / V 58.23° An ultra-wide field of view, made for the vast night sky. Capture the Milky Way, star trails, and sweeping landscapes with ease.

Telephoto 1200mm Equivalent Focal Length
12MP high-SNR deep-sky output, built to capture distant galaxies, faint nebulae, and fine deep-sky structure.



Designed as a high-end portable observatory, this single compact system is capable of imaging deep-sky objects like nebulae and galaxies, as well as solar, lunar, and planetary targets.



Made for the finest images yet

Stars, stay true to the edge
A 90mm aperture defines the physical ceiling of image quality. To truly reach it, every beam of light must be precisely controlled. Draco uses an aberration corrected optical system to precisely correct light deviation deep within the lens set. From the center to the edge of the frame, stars stay pin sharp. A leap in image quality, and an elegant answer to physics.

Temperature, mastered all night
Draco manages heat across the system. Draco rethinks the flow of energy, turning old imaging challenges into part of the solution CMOS cooling for lower noise: Built-in cooling and heat dissipation reduce thermal noise at the source, creating an exceptionally clean data foundation. Automatic lens dew prevention: Reused sensor heat is directed to warm the lens precisely, keeping the view clear and transparent through the night. From -20°C winter nights to 45°C summer heat, Draco runs steadily, protecting every frame from capture to final image.

Folded Optical Design
Big aperture. Compact by design. 386mm Body | 90mm Aperture | 340mm Focal Length Inside this body, Draco folds a 90mm aperture and 340mm focal length into a compact optical path. Then it goes further.

Super Fast F3.8 Focal Ratio
Exceptionally fast at F3.8, Draco delivers around 2.2× the light throughput of typical F5.6 systems, capturing more light in less time. A faint nebula signal that once took 6 hours to gather can now be captured sharply in under 3 hours. With 300 second ultra-long exposures, Draco gathers light faster while keeping the image remarkably clean.

Physical CMOS Rotation
Your setup should follow your vision. Not the other way around. With Draco, you can rotate the frame directly in the app, while the CMOS sensor physically turns to match. Go wide. Go vertical. Go off-axis. Just the frame you had in mind. Compose Freely. Define Your Own Angle.


SHO Edition
Built-in Filters: Astro/Dark-frame/Dual-narrowband(Hα+O III)/Dual-narrowband(S II+O III) Adds a built-in S II + O III dual-narrowband filter, targeting S II at 674 nm and O III at 503 nm with the same 13 ± 3 nm bandpass. The S II + O III and Hα + O III filters work automatically in sequence to capture real S II, Hα, and O III data. Draco then handles separation, color mapping, and composition automatically, producing classic blue-and-gold Hubble Palette images with one tap.
The SHO Edition includes an external ND filter for solar imaging.
Both editions feature the same Hα + O III dual-narrowband filter and Astronomy Filter.
Choose the SHO Version for an additional built-in S II + O III filter, or the Standard Version with a built-in ND filter.

Stable Support for Draco
Draco comes with an aluminum-alloy tripod, with an aluminum platform, connectors, and legs for reliable support without unnecessary weight. TPR feet provide added grip on the ground for greater stability.




Weighing approximately 480 g, the tripod stands 175 mm high when deployed, with a 470 mm footprint diameter and a compact folded size of just 80 × 80 × 268 mm. An 80 mm top platform with a 3/8”-16 mounting thread provides a secure connection, while the fixed-length legs open to a preset angle for quick setup.

5.5kg body
Light enough to carry with one hand, so you can take serious imaging power far beyond the backyard.


Automatic, Yet Fully in Your Control
In Auto Mode, Draco intelligently adjusts settings for each target. Switch to Pro Mode for full control over exposure, gain, filters, and more. With exposure times from 1/10000 s to 300 s, you have the flexibility to capture different targets and explore more creative possibilities.
