Thanks for the warm welcome!

I was originally looking at the Celestron NexStar 6 SE, but the place I went to buy it from had a Celestron CPC800 XLT on sale for only a couple of hundred more, so naturally I went home with that
Once my overdraft fully recovers, I will look at accessories, so any suggestions welcome. Though after the weekends outing a Dew Heater is already on order.
