I guess understanding and knowing where you are on the evolutionary scale of "backyard astronomy" can help in equipment purchasing , the more you use your existing gear the better off you will be in determing if a new accessorie will be beneficial to you as you progress. Purchases that ive made have "been the best i could afford "at that time , for the most part a simple cardboard tube newtonian with a set of plossl eyepices have been my tools and ive been content with that . With a little experiance comes stronger commitment and maybe a desire to purchase higher end stuff , while i was happy with my eyepieces looking through widefeild eyepieces for instance is very rewarding personally . Looking back at the time i brought my simple reflector i could have extended myself and brought a scope with more gizmos and gadgets but in the scheme of things maybe my experiance at the time didnt warrant such a purchase . On the other hand the purchase of one premium eyepiece has been very satisfying and i would gladily keep it and give up my others. In the end know where you stand , know your budget , do your research and be content.
