Interesting that you were able to see Uranus as a bluish-green disk (I've only been seeing a tiny white disk so far).

For Mars observing, I've been starting off with my smaller scopes and progressively moving to my larger ones.
Larger aperture and APO design certainly help with color definition.
And this SVX127D, f/8 is a planet killer!!
