Hi Dave, congratulations, if you have half as much enjoyment with your 10 as I have had with my 8 you are in for a wonderful time. Might I make 3 more suggestions.
(1) a pirates eye patch will make a world of difference. After an hour of keeping one eye closed it gets tiring but with an eye patch no pain no strain.
(2) download Stellarium a free astronomy program. It will show you (once set up) real time night sky at your location and will help you find things.
(3) download Astrobyte software. It is an excellent way to keep records and plan your evenings.
have fun and clear skies.

all right I was wrong about only 3... (4) get a chair, adjustable or not, that will allow you to comfortably observe.
