Yay! Birthday gift for Dobby!

The birthday gift for Dobby and I arrived yesterday :)
The SkyMaster 1.25" eyepiece and accessories kit, with 5 new eyepieces, a 2x Barlow, 5 colour lense filters and a moon filter.
I'm very keen to try the big field on the 32mm so, that should be beautiful. And I am very curious about how good the results will be when I crank Dobby up to the full 400x magnification possible with the 6mm ep and the Barlow.
The filters should be interesting too. I'll have to start with Saturn though, as I'm pretty sure (without checking right now) that Jupiter is setting too early now.

Of course, this will all have to wait until these damn clouds clear away!
