Welcome to the forums, I myself got a scope for the family for Christmas and bought filters and a 2x Barlow. I have now put the Barlow in its box as I find I get better viewing through the stock 20mm or 10 mm. Now I am not saying from my limited experience the Barlow is no good, as when I used either the 10 or 20mm with the Barlow to look at Jupiter it was astounding to see the moons and banding.
The guys here have helped me out so much with finding and understanding stars etc so take on board the help
Also watch out as I went nearly 5 nights straight and had very little sleep because this is a great hobby. Take some photos and post your results as I am looking to get into the photographic side and will be watching for the tips and results you get.
Anyways
Troy
