Here are a few things that will come in handy.
First up download Stellarium it is free and with the punching in of a few numbers it will show you the sky real time right above you. makes it a lot easier to find stuff.
You do need to be able to COLLIMATE your new reflector. if you don't it is much like looking through someone elses prescription glasses. perhaps your scope even came with a collimation cap. If not you need to buy a collimation tool of some sort.
I really enjoy a plastic garden stool so that i can sit and observe. I also use a pirates eye patch because i have trouble with keeping one eye closed.
There are as many other accessories as there are stars.
But the basic accessory is a clear night!
have fun.
