Smile Celestron CPC Plunge & Advice

After a year's footling about (and lurking at this esteemed site), I have finally taken the plunge. I placed an order yesterday for a CPC 1100 plus a hi-cap Powertank (should be with me by Mon/Tue next week).
My wife will be so pleased when she see the boxes ...

I am still basically a visual observer (some through-the-eyepiece shots but nothing special) but I may go for a wedge and some imaging gear later on (when the bank balance recovers ... ahem).

Gone for some Vixen LV eyepieces, too - sure, could get wider AFOV or other "better" for the money but happy enough .

Will be happy to write a review if anybody interested.

Also, thoughts/comments on future/necessary accessories (e.g. recommended dew zappers, counterweight system if imaging switchover goes ahead, suitable imagaing gear, collimation tools, etc., etc.).

Cheers for now,

Gary
