I wouldn't have put this picture here otherwise, but for people who are interested in the DWARF II tube. This photo was taken with a tube weighing only 1.2 kilograms. And this pipe is not expensive. Maybe this works better for nature photography, can track flying birds automatically, can also take video or even a billion pixel landscape photo. The software still seems to be Unfinished.

  The apparent shape of spiral galaxied depends on out observation direction. From above they are quite round. From the side they lens-shaped with a bulge in the middle.
  
  Generally a rather large instrument, good weather conditions and observational expereince are needed to see spiral arms. Usually spiral galaxies look like a fuzzy spots.
