Question From Refractor to Newt

Hi All,

Looking at selling my refractor and jumping into the world of fast newtonians. Looking to start with something smaller & more portable - thinking of a SW Quattro 150P - before maybe adding an 8" or 10" later if I enjoy using the newt. Just looking for advice on what to look out for & extras I might need to have.

I'm aware of coma correctors, collimation, light leaks and such, but are there other things I need to be aware of before taking the plunge in this new direction? Or additional bits'n'pieces I might want to make life with a newt more enjoyable?

Cheers,
Mark
