Sometimes when the moon come out I use the scope cover and remove the 2" cap, this reduces the light capture which is very strong especially for the moon. It may also work for some of the planets especially Venus. I have a 12" being bigger so the light is much more excessive. It is a cheap way to try.
As far as buying lenses, I waited and joined an astronomy club, chatted and only bought 4 new lenses which arrived only yesterday. This is 9 months after buying the scope. It is one of the most important purchaces for visual observing as i have made one mistake prior to this.
Gratz on your first start, there is so much more out there.
