Tom--If you will go to this page:
<http://www.austin.cc.tx.us/astro-ES/AstroDesigns/MAPUG/TipsNewX.htm>
of the Mapug Topical Archive you'll find a number of recommendations for
accessories and eyepieces. My personal top recommendation is to build or buy a
table that fits on top of the tripod to register the base to the mounting
bolt--a rather frustrating exercise otherwise. Enjoy!
