Hi

Sweet scope! The moon filter and RA finder scope are definitely good buys. Not sure about the dew shield, do you mean light shroud?

Hi Ray, welcome to the Lounge.

Another vote for a shroud, this really helps no end, by cutting down any stray light that may get into the tube, and this improves contrast, particularly if you have any light pollution.

If you have any problems with your back, then I would then get a RA finder, it does make things that bit easier.

Nice scope, it will give you hours of pleasure.
