Nice one Hotdog

I agree on the cable, they include it with the SE series and upwards and it surely can't cost much. Agree on the included eyepieces too, they don't exactly make the most of the scope. A nice 32mm plossl or (better) 24mm 68 degree design would do a nice rendition if max FOV and at a bit over 1 degree it's not all bad, and you should get lovely contrast and detail out of the scope. For shorter focal lengths...there are a lot of choices.

Some folk hang a bag of something heavy from the spreader plate to damp it a bit more, but I'd be reasonable with the term heavy as it's not made out of cast iron
