To see Saturn and Jupiter clearly through a telescope, a refractor with at least 50mm aperture is recommended, with larger apertures like 102mm or 125mm providing more detail such as Saturn's rings and Jupiter's Great Red Spot. For higher detail, pricier catadioptric telescopes are ideal. Viewing Uranus and Neptune requires even larger telescopes, around 200mm, and a motorized mount can help locate these distant planets.
