What is a good magnification for a home telescope?
The most beneficial and effective telescope is the one that has magnification 50x more than its aperture in inches. And, when talked in mm then twice its aperture. To get a good 600x you need a 12 inches wide scope.
What is a good aperture size for a telescope?
Aperture: A Telescope’s Most Important Feature As a rule of thumb, your telescope should have at least 2.8 inches (70 mm) aperture — and preferably more. Dobsonian telescopes, which are reflectors with a simple mount, provide lots of aperture at relatively low cost.

How much magnification do you need to see Mars?
What can you see at 20x magnification?
In general, a 20x objective maps 0.5 microns (of the specimen on the slide) to a single pixel on the camera. The final magnification is obtained by dividing the display pixel size (in microns) by the pixel mapping. For a 70″ HD TV (1920×1080), the pixel size is about 0.8mm (800 microns).
