I just got a 12" LB and you will want collimation tool, I've been using a laser one and it does the trick. Checked it against some Catseye collimation tools and it was pretty close.

A shroud might be useful if there will be external light sources. The scope doesn't come with a finderscope (just a laser dot finder) if you think you'll want one.

The only problem I've had with the scope so far is that the white "locking" knobs for collimation affect the collimation when you lock it. I'm not sure what the solution to this is, but I know of one person that drilled new holes and moved the locking knobs closer to the adjustment knobs - that worked really well if you're willing to drill holes.

You'll also probably want more than one eyepiece if you don't already have some.
