19. I wonder what types of views we can get of the planets closer to us

Uranus is almost twice as far from the sun as Saturn and Saturn is nearly twice as far from the sun as Jupiter. The same with mars and Jupiter.

I wonder what sort of resolution you could get of Mars.

I had a cheap 6” Newtonian refractor when I was younger and I thought it was awesome looking at Mars. You could even see the icecaps!
