 Other accessories of astronomer's 'kit'

1.A Planisphere: Make certain this is one you can read easily at night with your red flashlight!
2.A Red Light Flashlight: A red flashlight prevents you from losing your night vision the way a regular (white) flashlight would.
3.A Barlow Lens: A Barlow lens is a lens you slip your eyepieces into that then doubles or triples their magnification. Having a barlow is like doubling the number of eyepieces you have. Make sure you have a barlow before you go buying additional eyepieces.
4.A decent Astronomy book: Don't just buy a book with pretty pictures. Make certain it is a useful book that gives helpful instructions and advice on how to use your telescope, find& observe night-sky objects and other hints. Make certain to read it fully before you go observing, then refer to it during your observation session.
5.Time and good weather: Make certain that you have time for your new hobby. It takes some commitment for even casual viewing. Also, make certain that before you go observing that the weather is decent for viewing. There's no point in going observing on a night where haze clouds everything in view.
6.Warm clothing: OK, you should really have this stuff already. But it is important to know. Even in warm summer months the temperature can get surprisingly cool at night. Be certain that you are ready for the weather, wherever you are and whenever you observe.
