Just saying Hi,

I used to do alot of Astro stuff 15-10 years ago where I had a 10in Dob and a Skywatcher EQ6 Pro with a EvoStar 80ED along with a Modified Canon Camera all housed in my modified obs shed. I had serious spinal surgery and lost the ability to do a lot of things whilst I recuperated and I ended up selling all my gear.

I am now looking to get back into Astrophotography but looking to keep things simple, lightweight and easy so I am looking at a Dwarf 3 etc purchase

Welcome. I have no experience with any of those small smart telescopes, but the one I most commonly see images from is probably the Seestar S50.

Welcome to Astrobin. I have regular Gear including a Newtonian as well as a Petzval Refractor and have also invested in Seestar S50. I find this one very powerful, compact and portable for my travel requirements

The new enhancements which have come up in terms of Denoising, EQ Mode and a few others are making this Smart Telescope really powerful

There are several videos especially from Cuiv and Luca comparing the various Smart Telescopes like Seestar, Dwarf and Vespera. You may want to check them out if not done already

All the best

Ive seen some stuff from them and looked at it myself. I think it will be a good option for you light weight no fluff astro. I was really surprised by the results
