    Hi

    So I am new to astronomy...

    I have a Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ Reflector Telescope and I recently bought a Celestron 1.25 Inch Universal Barlow and T-Adaptor...

    What other accessories would you recommend I get?

    I was considering getting some eyepiece filters and lenses..

    Thanks for your help.

    I think the 130EQ comes with a 20mm and a 10mm eyepiece. If it's just the 20, then get a 10mm too.

    Get a Barlow (a decent one), and a collimator. You should be able to pick up both cheaply on Amazon. My 130 was way out of kilter until I collimated it, the difference to the image quality was stunning.

    Welcome.

    I think I have one of those Celestron box with the eye pieces and all the other bits.
    I fi can find it and you live near Dublin, i will give you free of charge.
    But, friendly advice, is not the best around.

    I spent twice the amount for the scope on the accessories.

    Enjoy it.
