OMG! started on the slippery slope already, bought a 10:1 focuser, 5x barlow, better 90deg diagonal and an illuminated reticle eyepiece yesterday.
Its all downhill from here.

Actually, I would say these are "must haves" so you haven't really bought anything "extra"....yet

Just got the 10:1 focuser. If it performs as good as it looks I'l be happy.
Tried a bit of processing on one of the images and managed to get some colour into it. Still learning to drive Photoshop, got used to Paintshop Pro.
