Hi Ray
Keep watching Venus for the next few months and you will see it get brighter and change into a crescent shape, like the Moon. But your telescope will need to be in good shape to see that clearly. Work a bit more on collimation. If you have a "moon filter", you might find it helps to put that on when Venus becomes quite bright.
But keep watching Venus and Jupiter, especially the early evening sky of 1st December - You won't need a telescope to see what happens.
