What else can I help you with?
Will you need a telescope to view the 2012 transit of Venus?
Yes, with special filters.
Do you need a telescope to observe the phases of Venus?
Yes. Even a fairly small telescope will be adequate to reveal "the horns" of Venus. When Venus is at its maximum distance from the sun (to our perspective--not its aphelion) it will be half full. After that it either becomes crescent shaped as it swings our way, or fills out as it moves behind the sun.
What is the history of Venus?

Which planet is the easiest to spot using a telescope?
The Earth is definitely the #1 easiest. Next in line would be Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Each of those is visible without a telescope, so you'd know exactly where to point your telescope by seeing the planet with your eye first. The brightest planet that you do need a telescope to see is Uranus. So you definitely won't miss it when you're pointed at it, but you need to know where to point.
