Astro imaging is the purest form of a money pit outside of sailing known to man. $1000 is not going to get much in the way of an imaging kit unless you are keen on learning the joys of manual guiding.
On the other hand $1000 will buy a very nice Dob which will give years of viewing.
The little Go To scopes like the 6SE give OK views and you get the convenience of Go To, but you sacrifice aperture for convenience.
