we'll I'm soon to place an order for my daugthers first telescope. here's what I had in mind tell me if I should change anything or add anything. I'm ordering through telescope.com. Here's the order:

Skyquest xt8intelliscope w/o object locater
Ez finder 2 reflex sight
shorty 2xbarlow lens 1.25"
Deluxe stargazer's filter set

I'm going to order the object locater later on when she learns her way around a little
thanks for the advice

I strongly recommend the Shorty Plus Barlow over the Shorty. For filters, a variable polorizer and maybe an 80A Blue.
