10" Skywatcher Dob "enhancements"?

Hello all,

recently after all pros and cons where weighed up i have put a deposit down for a 10" skywatcher dob. I have been looking though the forums and seen alot of DIY projects. As i am a compulsive tinker'er what are good value for money enhancements to this already decent kind of scope?

Somethat i will be looking at are

Illuminated sight scope (mikes thred)
base enhancement (milkbottle washers thanks mike again !)

I have seen people talking about internal baffling either behind the secondary or all the way up the tube, will this make alot of difference for visual astro?

Also for a person that is new to the game, ambient temperature and thermal equillibrium of the mirror is there a resonably sure fire way of knowing when your about ready to go other than saying yeah its been a hour shell be right?

Any other ideas?

Brendan
