Hi Ryan,

If you get a GSO newtonian scope i'd recommend getting new springs (which sit under the mirror) like these ones http://www.bobsknobs.com/Newt/page45/NewtPri.html you should also look at getting a collimation tool; http://www.bintel.com.au/Accessories...4/catmenu.aspx i'd suggest either the Orion Collimating eyepiece or a barlowed laser like the Glatter 1.25" Barlowed Collimator. I've heard its best to avoid the non barlow lasers.

I wouldn't worry too much about other eyepieces yet (you get 3 with the scope), perhaps a barlow lens or 2.5x powermate.

best of luck!

cheers

Russ
