Got a bit of money for my birthday, looking to spend up to $250-$300 on "stuff".

What stuff should I get? Which of these would you choose?

I'm considering, on my "want" list:

* Astronomik UHC filter (~$190)

* Telrad (~$90)

* A budget widefield eyepiece (probably the GSO SV 30mm) (~$99)
or
* Save up more and get a premium widefield, maybe a 27mm Panoptic or a Pentax XW? (> $400??)

* GSO 2" 2x barlow (~$70)
or
* Save up more and get a premium (televue?) 2" 2x barlow or a 2" 2x powermate? (> $200??)

* A smallish shed to store my scope/accessories on outside (not an observatory, this is just for storage). (probably over $200)


What do you think? Got any other ideas or suggestions?

Thanks
