The transit of Venus tomorrow; worthwile to get my telescope out of its box?

Asked by rebbel (35549points) June 4th, 2012

Venus will transit across the Sun’s face (5–6 June) for the last time, before it will do so again in about a hundred years.
Am I wrong in assuming that it is not a good idea to watch directly into the sun (with a telescope)?
Is there something to see for me (apart from seeing Venus being beautiful in the first place) if I go out tomorrow at night?
