# Digital Book-Style Telescopes The Dwarf III Telescope Weighs in at Under Three-Pounds By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2024-07-04 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dwarf-iii References: [newatlas](https://newatlas.com/technology/dwarf-iii-smart-telescope/) & [dwarflab](https://dwarflab.com/products/dwarf-3-smart-telescope)  The Dwarf III telescope is a lightweight, compact piece of stargazing equipment perfect for avid or amateur astrologers to incorporate into their equipment setup. The telescope weighs in at just 2.97-pounds and features a book-shaped construction that is easy to tote around in the accompanying carrying bag or in another pack. The unit is equipped with the [Sony](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seestar-s30) IMX678 ([STARVIS 2](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cigman-cnvpro-binoculars)) image sensor along with VIS, Astro and Dual-Band filters that allow for the capture of cosmic imagery at a variety of different wavelengths. The Dwarf III telescope works with the accompanying smartphone where users can monitor the view that the telescope is capturing. This also allows for [precision star tracking capabilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-identification-camera) and the ability to automatically track objects using artificial intelligence (AI).
