Hi Steve welcome to the lounge,

no need to buy anything just yet, once you unbox, get used to the 

scope, read this review  http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/133611-celestron-nexstar-127-slt-review/

it will give you a few pointers about your scope.

Good Luck and Clear Sky's

Hello Steve, and welcome 

Have you downloaded Stellarium yet?

http://www.stellarium.org/

It's free and is great to help you learn the night sky and plan what you want to observe.

Welcome Steve. It's all a learning curve, but hopefully you'll enjoy yourself along the way.

Welcome prepare yourself for a one way ticket down the rabbit hole

One thing to check with the slt mount that sometimes gets missed is the time and date. Otherwise alignment will fail. Enjoy
