About Orion Skies
Made by a Dwarf 3 owner who found the official guide hard going at first, wrote down every night, and wanted the next owner to have it easier.
Why it exists
Every setting here was tried on a real night, in a Leicester garden and at a dark site. When something went wrong, it was written down with what fixed it. That is the problems and fixes page, and it is the part no manual has.
Unofficial
Orion Skies is not made by, linked to or supported by DWARFLAB. DWARF 3 is their product and their name. For a fault or the warranty, contact DWARFLAB.
Pictures
The pictures on the public pages are by TPN Explorer. Members' pictures belong to the members who took them, and are only shown to other signed-in members.
Your privacy
Tonight's plan works out the sky on your phone: your postcode is not sent to us. If you set an area for your target list, we keep it rounded to about ten kilometres, never your postcode or address. Every photo has its hidden details, including where it was taken, removed when it is uploaded.
The aurora
Out at night anyway? Auroracast sends free alerts when the aurora could reach the UK and Ireland.
