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?

You can get pretty close just by eye.

This and similar will do better , http://www.parksoptical.com/product_...f98e3157e1f89c it's essentially just got a hole dead centre that you look through just like an eyepiece but garantees your eye is dead centre on the focusor else you see nothing.

If you become a perfectionist - I am with this , then a Cheshire or a laser is necessary. I've got both == $$$
