Abstract
Accessories are the bane and delight of every amateur astronomer’s existence. You never stop buying. Of course, many of the “must-haves” are really superfluous impulse purchases. Who can resist buying just one more eyepiece from a dealer’s table at a star party? But there is no doubt that you really do need quite a bit of equipment in addition to a telescope in order to enjoy productive observing.
