Welcome Grafted, what Johnno said re planets. You really need a scope with some aperture and high powers for planets. 8" Dobsonians do a great job for surprisingly little money (<$500). If you want two-eyed view planets, you can grab a relatively inexpensive binoviewer like the WO which works quite well with the 8" Dob. But do also get a more modest sized pair of binos for hand-held use if you haven't got one yet. (7-10x, 40-50mm)
