What kind of scope you got? Astronomy is a big time hobby of mine. I have a 12" Meade LX200 as well as many smaller scopes. I spend several hours a week under the stars.

Nice stuff man. Ever thought of stepping up to the 1100? The extra aperature is well worth it. I have my eyes on either the Meade 14" LX200R or a 6"-7" refractor for my next scope. If I get the 14" I'll be looking to sell the 12" if you're interested.
I also have an Orion solar filter, they're decent, but I highly reccommend you look at the sun through H-alpha....trust me, it will knock your socks off. I have a Coronado PST. H-alpha blows white light filters away IMO.
As far as accessories, theres just too many to list.
