Suggestions for accessories....

[ashutoshl]

Hi,

I am almost done with two scopes --- one a 6" f/5 that I am building from scratch (primary mirror is almost done) and another a 4" f/13 refractor. I purchased the lens and cell and am building the rest. I would like some help regarding accessories for the scopes ? I am putting them on a Orion SVP mount.

What kind of eyepieces, finders, maps, barlows, etc. should I go for ? What accessories are "must have" and what are "nice to have" ? Any models/vendors, etc. that I should stay away from ?

Thanks in advance for suggestions.
