Welcome. First thing to do is enjoy ... upgrades can come later when you have identified where they might be required. 

Hope you have lots of fun on your quest. 🙂

Welcome to the forum. Your question depends on what you want to do, what's your ambitions regarding your hobby, ie visual, imaging, deep sky objects, planet's, solar, spectroscopy, etc, etc. It's just helpful so we can advise.

Hi Andy, welcome to SGL. Depending on the quality and the sizes of the  eyepieces supplied you may like to upgrade or add some different ones or maybe buy a zoom.

Thank for welcome,

in regards to what I’d like to do for now is observe planets.

I know very little and although had my previous telescope for many year in was a dust collector only come out once in a while.

Tried viewing Mars last night with little success light pollutions a b@#%¥.

Looking at the Moon outstanding and for a better word simple.

Hi and welcome, your first priority is to get to know your new scope, upgrades can wait until you’ve determined what aspects of this hobby you want to take further.
