8" dob and essential accessories. An observing chair (I simply use a folding camp stool), red torch, planisphere, http://www.rasnz.org.nz/ (check out the Constellations page), Luna 100 guide, Cheshire eyepiece.

Next level Telrad, View-tah's Telrad charts, variable polarising moon filter, laser collimator.

Next level better eyepieces and filters and sky charts.

Just spend LOTS of time under the sky with your new scope before you start spending money on more than the first level accessories otherwise you tend to end up with lots of expensive paperweights.

Cheers
