The better investment in my view would be a 1.25" LPF or UHC-L filter (costs about the $100 or there about I think = I use 2" bandcut filters which are more pricey) , you never regret getting a pollution filter (visually or photographically in my opinion).
LPF = light pollution filter (cuts down on sodium and mercury emission from lights , and on ionized oxygen emission in the atmosphere).
Ok so the 40mm would be worth getting and the barlow lens..and thats it right? i dont wanna worry for the LPF for now,100 aud is a bit to much for my liking for the moment.

as I mentioned I wanna see the clouds and the milky way(no clue but where to look at)and some of magellan and what now and of course the most important;PLANETS !!!!

So those 2 eyepieces which come with it with the 40mm and the barlow will make me all set yes?
