Introducing the OA-DL-Mini-OAK, the smallest smartscope now has the smallest accessory kit to go along with it.
The kit features:
- A magnetic threaded base which also keeps the view from the wide angle lens unobstructed (when not using the dew shield, view is partially obstructed when the dew shield is fitted). This allows for the fitting of 3rd party 1.25" astro filters and also the attachment of a threaded and flocked dew shield.
- A threaded and flocked dew / light shield.
- A Bhatinov mask as well as Newtonian (4 spike), and Webb (6 spike) diffraction masks are also included.
- All fits into a handy carrying pouch which is also supplied.
SOLAR IMAGING - Recommend using the Dwarflab supplied filter
If you intend to use your own 1.25" solar filter with this kit: - The wide angle shield on the filter holder must be blocking the wide angle lens.
- The DwarfLab mini as part of it's calibration process for tracking the sun fully closes (knocking the filter holder off) before opening the scope again (at which point you must attach the filter holder again, before the main objective lens aligns with the sun.
- The dew/light shield should not be used during solar imaging as this increases the chance of accidentally knocking off the filter holder and directly exposing the Mini's sensor to the sun leading to permanent damage.
Solar imaging is undertaken entirely at the users own risk.
Currenty we've been experiencing an extrordinary amount of cloud (no clear sky in over 2 months) which means we haven't been able to take any shots with the Mini as yet. As soon as we get a clear night we'll get some example shots up in the product images.

All of the accessories are very well made and top quality. My favorite one is the dew shield. It has a little more length than other competitors and the internal flocking really make a difference.
I recently ordered Oak Astro's dew hood,bahtinov focus mask and star diffraction set.
Firstly, I live in New Zealand, about as far away as one could possibly be from Oak Astro, I was highly impressed with the fast delivery time.
Upon inspection, the items delivered are robust, of very high quality and precision manufacture. The threaded components mate perfectly. The dew hood is internally flocked and has absolutely no internal reflections.
Owing to poor viewing conditions (overcast, cloudy nights) I have not yet had the opportunity to test the items on any astro objects, however I have no reason to doubt that they will perform as advertised.
The accessory carry bag is a nice bonus.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this product to other Dwarf Mini users.
Great Quality on both the Mini and the D3 items I purchased. Very happy.
I've been using the dew shield since I received it, and have been very impressed. Full disclosure: I ordered and have been using itmore as a lens hood than to counter dew as so far I have not been imaging near to the dew point here in France. As a lens hood, it has been excellent and has helped a great deal! The street lights here switch off at 11 PM, but with the shield on my Dwarf Mini I've been able to get images (of clusters) even when the nearest streetlight on the road above is inside the wide-angle camera's field of view. I've also noticed improvements when imaging away from that light, as the hood keeps light from elsewhere in town getting to the lens directly.
I feel that I should also note that, despite the hood blocking part of the wide angle field of view (as was noted in the description), this does not appear to affect the deep sky mode at all. I have not as yet noticed any effect on the ability of the Mini to calibrate, to set up EQ mode, or to find, goto, and track targets.
