Thiink,

The eyepieces that come with the scope will keep you going for quite a while. There are probably more important accessories to get before you start on the eyepiece bug. Get a handle on the type of viewing you prefer before parting with the hard earned on extra eyepieces - this can get expensive.

As for the filters and colourblindness they only restrict the wavelengths passed through so the image is highlighted in some way. I don't understand what colourblind people see in these wavelengths but, if they can see the colour in some way the image should be enhanced for them as well. This is another place to wait and see what you need before buying, then possibly buy one and try it.

My tip would be to go with the 10", a good barlow and a cheshire collimating eyepiece and to not get too carried away with the extras, they will accumulate over time by themselves.

Cheers
