Michael, the 585 is a cracking planetary sensor too…get yourself a 3x Barlow and point your scope at the bright planets we have on offer this Spring.

Your biggest challenge at 1000mm focal length IMO is going to be your polar alignment. There are software polar alignment routines these that can reduce the amount of time it takes to nail it, but you will want to nail it at that focal length…as that will be your limiting factor in practice.
