Everyting that Scott says is true, but I would put the table very high on my list. Having a spot to put charts, eyepieces etc where they can be found without fumbling on the ground in the dark is a great time and fustration saver. I have a little aluminium one I baought at the green warehouse and I use it every night I am out in the yard. When I go away to the odd star party it also doubles as a neat little camping table.
I have bought a couple of filters but I have found I get more enjoyment out of looking at DSO's I am really familiar with through them, as I can really see the differences. They are also useful for picking up little planetary nebs, but to get that you need to learn to find your way to the nebs first! For that I think good charts and practice are the best accessories.
How is the 10" going, I followed all your queries in the forum and would be interested to hear some first light and observing reports!
