New Celestron Nexstar 5SE

I have recently bought a new 'scope and am now looking to add to it. The first thing I've done is to replace the original finder scope (a piece of rubbish, quite frankly) with a Celestron Starpointer Pro. At least I can now align my 'scope to my viewfinder. The 'scope also came with a Celestron 25 mm Plossl, but no other eyepieces.

Now, the extras. My goodness, so much too add. (dreaming). But what I would appreciate feedback on is what I have initially settled upon, which is the following.

The eyepieces: (all Plossl)
Sirius 6.5 mm, Sirius 10 mm, Sirius 15 mm: A 2X Celestron Barlow with T-Adapter.

Filters:
Sirius 80A Blue, Sirius 25 Red, Sirius 38A Dark Blue, Orion Polarizing Moon Filter, Sirius Oxygen OIII Filter.

After further consideration, and any feedback on the above, I will then begin looking at dew control. This is a totally foreign field to me, but one I feel must be considered. Deeper "homework" will be required on my part here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, initially on eyepieces and filters, the dew control will come a bit later, because, at the end of the day, I want this meaningful pursuit to have some kind of purpose.

I know this not the bee's knee's in telescopes, but I must go with a very tight budget.

Much thanks,
