can you see Mars with a telescope? With telescopes of this aperture size, you'll be able to see the moon and her craters, as well as some of the bigger planets. This is an example of Mars as seen through a telescope with a 90mm aperture. As you can see, it's definitely visible, but not at the greatest of detail. This is Jupiter with a 130mm aperture.
