SW-H130 extras
I have found the SW-H130 to be a very good and versatile scope. Some comments on extras based on my experience:
1) a 5mm eyepiece will be used infrequently, the magnification reveals the limit of mechanical stability for this scope - but a 7mm ultra wide angle (82 degree afov) eyepiece (like the Meade 5000 6.7mm) is very useful for high-power views. Any 5mm plossl will have such short eye relief you will find it difficult to use.
2) the most useful low-power eyepiece will be a 32mm plossl like the GSO 32mm plossl which is a fair-quality, low-cost option. Longer focal length eyepieces will give lower power viewing but background light pollution will appear too bright (except in very dark sky locations).
3) a full cats-eye or laser collimator is not needed - try making a collimation cap and learn to use this.
best of luck!
