This is how Theophilus (the largest of the prominent group of three craters near the bottom centre of the picture) might look on a good night, except that the picture doesn’t really convey the dazzling brightness of the Moon’s surface. The Moon 33 Fig. 1 Views of the Moon as good as this are entirely possible with a budget telescope The lunar craters are impact structures, formed during the ‘Great Bombardment’, around 4,000 million years ago, when meteorites rained down upon the recently solidified lunar surface.
So just how do we use our small telescope to observe the Sun safely? 42 4 Observing the Solar System Safety and Finderscopes Always cap or cover the front of your telescope’s finderscope before starting any observations of the Sun. Looking through any telescope at the Sun can seriously damage your eyesight, and a finderscope is no exception. Cover the finderscope, because it’s all too easy to forget what you’re observing and unthinkingly try to use it to aim the main telescope. You can aim your telescope at the Sun by looking at its shadow.
The moment of dichotomy (half-phase) of Venus can be worked out very accurately, but it always happens during evening apparitions. When Venus is waning, dichotomy is early by a day or two; when Venus is waxing in the morning sky, dichotomy is late. This was first noticed in the 1790s by the German astronomer Johann Schröter, and years ago I (Patrick) christened it the Schröter effect, a term which has now become widely used. It is due to the effects of Venus’ dense, extensive atmosphere. It sometimes happens that during the crescent stage, the night hemisphere of Venus shines dimly.
