I'm looking to buy a skyquest xt8 dobsonian telescope as a first telescope. I want to buy a few accessories and was looking for input. I can spend about $75 on accessories. I'm looking at eye pieces, barlows and moon filters. The skyquest comes with a 25mm eye piece. Any input on what size eye pieces to get and should I wait on the barlow? How useful is the moon filter? Is the polarizer a better bet? I use polarized filters for my camera and I'm familiar with how they work.
