Add :
Coma corrector for the Newt (Baader's MFCC is nice).
Upgrade focusor on Newt to a 2" low profile crayford style and make sure the primary is positioned to give sufficient back focus reach focus at the camera's focal plane. (When fully racked in.)
You might need a bigger secondary to get better illumination on the entire chip or film frame.
Remotes for the cameras.
I'd consider these as MUST HAVES.
Buy a spare dovetail plate , get an offcut of 10mm thick aluminium flat (wide enough and long enough to give a good platform for the guidescope rings and telephoto lens and main OTA) and make your own side-by-side plate. Would work out a lot cheaper than buying one ready made.
