Thoughts from this night:
I like the 585MC but it is slower than the 462MC at the same resolution. I think the 4x larger chip will really shine on lunar. 
After 3 attempts, I've found saturn to be a difficult planet to get an image I'm satisfied with. I dont think I'm going to do better than this Saturn unless I get a night of excellent seeing or saturn moves a lot higher. (It's around 40 degrees now at its highest) . We dont get too many nights of excellent seeing from my imaging location. That being said, I feel this version is better than last years attempt. 

C&C welcome
