No ones perfect Laurie
As for accessories, I would suggest a good collimation device such as a cheshire or laser collimator, they are quick and almost the perfect helping hand you will need. A red light to view the planispheres or maps and to walk around in. Some warm clothes
As for EP'sget the best you can afford for now, there are some really good cheapones out there, have a look at andrews communications or bntel they usually have a good selection. Filters, get yourself a good ND filter or moon filter,dont want to kill your eyes looking at the moon. Other filters can probably wait but a good UHC filter or OIII filter would be on the list at some stage.
So we getting dizzy yet?
If you like star hopping naked eye to find objects,how about getting yourself a Telrad, they are perfect for the aligning of the telescope while star hopping with your naked eyes.
Just a few hints to take on board, if you choose to ignore them,I wont be offended
Goodluck and may you have many years of happiness with your new found friend.
