Congratulations on you excitement and welcome to the club!

I always suggest that new folks enjoy what they have before lashing out on a lot of gear but when they are ready to buy carefully after trying if possible before you buy.

Having said that, some things that I have found helpful.

An adjustable height chair...it improved my enjoyment and viewing experience a lot

Good collimation tools...there is a recent thread on this topic with sound advice.

A dew heater and or boundary fans...

I like the Telrad zero power finder...the bullseye in the sky is helpful in finding things

Three or four high quality widefield eyepieces...you preferences and budget to decide which brand...

Enjoy!
