Lewis, the trick for bright objects is to "stop down" your pupil by looking through a pinhole, which you might even create crossing your hands. Works surprisingly well. I'll be trying this on Venus between now and Inferior Conjunction. Can't positively see the crescent shape now (but I do see that it's non-stellar), but Venus will get bigger in the next few weeks.
