Charlie,
Planisphere, Telrad, Cheshire Eyepiece, Chair.

Planisphere: is a very practical sky map that is fully adjustable to any location. It is small and handy. Here's one example: http://www.davidchandler.com/nightsky.htm

Telrad: A Zero Magnification Finder-scope with an illuminated bullseye target and maps showing sky objects in the bullseye. http://www.monmouth.com/~govega/telrad.htm

Cheshire EP: A collimating tool that I have to get still. Makes collimating easier and more accurate. It is an eyepiece that fits into the focuser to align the optics in a telescope.

Chair: To sit on! when viewing. (adjustable height)

Anyone else want to clarify any further?
