HEDNet station network

Already own a DWARF 3? You can help.

Your telescope can become a HEDNet station.

  • Capture original files.
  • Preserve timestamps.
  • Run rejection checks.
  • Help build multi-station evidence.

DWARF 3-style sky sentinel station watching a red-orange night event

First standard station

DWARF 3 is our first standard station.

HEDHub starts with DWARF 3 because thousands of people already use it to watch the sky. It is portable, repeatable, affordable compared with observatory equipment, and has both wide and telephoto views.

A single DWARF 3 can capture a lead.
Two or more synchronized DWARF 3 stations can start to measure distance, height and motion.
A network can turn isolated UFO clips into structured evidence.

Your station can help

What your DWARF 3 can contribute:

  • original video files;
  • UTC timestamps;
  • wide + tele context;
  • red/orange event tracking;
  • candidate rejection;
  • future triangulation;
  • H-alpha / filter experiments where possible.

No lab coat required

You don’t need to be a scientist.

You need curiosity, patience and original files.

If you already watch the sky with a DWARF 3, you are exactly who this project needs.

HEDNet is being designed so skywatchers can contribute useful evidence without pretending every light is extraordinary. The station software will live at github.com/hedhubnet/hedhub. The goal is simple: preserve original data, reject ordinary explanations first, and compare real events across multiple stations.
