Cool, thanks!

#1. Awesome!

#2. Added, appreciate it.

#3. So the ASI183MC *appears* to be far superior to the ASI224MC. As IMO all it is doing is capturing the image, I would think higher resolution/capabilities = better. Am I missing something?

#4. Thanks, I was wondering about those. I'll add them, as most of my back yard is rock/concrete and I'm pretty sure none of it would work inside the pool!

#5. I'm in Dallas, so its not really that humid, though it is occasionally. I'll go ahead and get this: https://www.amazon.com/Celestron-Aluminum-Telescope-Cassegrain-telescopes/dp/B09MZKZ2ZZ/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1WNJX4UXFOXKM&keywords=celestron+dew+shield+8se&qid=1677540858&s=electronics&sprefix=celestron+dew+shield+8se%2Celectronics%2C84&sr=1-3&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.08f69ac3-fd3d-4b88-bca2-8997e41410bb

#6. This had a barlow in it:" https://www.amazon.com/Celestron-Eyepiece-Filter-Kit-Telescope/dp/B00006RH5I/ref=sr_1_22_sspa?crid=O5OYIARRQLVI&keywords=Celestron%2BNexStar%2B8SE%2BVX&qid=1677447373&sprefix=celestron%2Bnexstar%2B8se%2Bvx%2Caps%2C110&sr=8-22-spons&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.08f69ac3-fd3d-4b88-bca2-8997e41410bb&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFJRElMOTMyVTZERTImZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTEwNDU4MzAxQlNDNENHVldQRkJIJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA3NDA5MDFGNFVYTk5HMktYSjMmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9idGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl&th=1

Not sure about the Takahashi eyepiece. What do they do, and should I jsut get a set like this? https://www.firstlightoptics.com/takahashi-eyepieces/takahashi-le-eyepieces.html

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I know I'm overdoing it. Yes, I know I'm probably buying a couple things i'll never use (was hoping ya'll would "enlighten" me to that). Yes, I know I'm blowing a large chunk of cash to some people. Just trying to start off and not be frustrated by what I see. I'm used to being frustrated by equipment/electronics/software :D
