Skywatcher Explorer 130m

I'm getting the Skywatcher Explorer 130m on tuesday and was wondering if there are any accessories i should get for it.

Thanks

The only thing i have bought extra is the Meade eye piece set and a moon filter

OK and is the telescope good ?

I am more than happy with the scope, it was on the advice from SGL members that got it.Have not used the motor as of yet, but got some fairly good images from the moon and still learning.

Picture attached was taken by holding my camera to the eye piece and clicking!

WOW! that is a great shot of the moon considering you just held the camera and clicked. Thanks

Its a great scope - loads of people start with them and theres a good reason for that - for the money its probably the best around.

Its had lots of great reviews and even Sir Patrick MJoore liked it. Thats why I bought one to restart the hobby with. I figured if it was good enough for SPM and people like Ade Ashford it was good enough for me

Accessories - I'd get a red light torch and leave it at that for now. Get some eyetime in and then you can decide what you really need later.
