Kit upgrade advice - what next???

Hi,

I’ve had my Skywatcher scope (8 inch Dob) for about 2 years and use it mainly in my backyard in suburban Sydney. I would still consider myself a beginner. I’m enjoying it and have been thinking about what to purchase next to add to the experience. ie filter, eyepiece, ????

I bought the telescope second hand and have the two Super Plossl eye pieces (10 & 25mm) that originally came with it. I also have a 2in GSO Superview – 42mm and a 1.25in GSO Superview – 20mm that came with the purchase, both of which seem to work well.

My go to eyepiece at the moment is an Orion Edge on Planetary – 12.5mm and I also have an Astronomik CLS-filter, both of which have been purchased as gifts.

My question is what would be a good addition to my kit. Things to consider are that I’m on a budget and I mainly view from my backyard.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.



Mick
