Penumbral eclipses are pretty subtle events - just a touch of darkening of the Moon towards one side, depending on the degree of penetration into the Earth's penumbral shadow. Most people wouldn't even notice the difference. Don't worry about the scope, doubt you'd be able to discern anything. These are best viewed naked eye, intermittently so you can notice change.
