Its all in the collimation of your scope, your tracking ability (my equatorial platform makes a HUGE difference here), the quality of your eyepieces and your experience (you learn to see subtle things over time).

I was out the other night looking at Mars and initially it was an orange blob but after a while it had an icecap and some dark markings on it.
