I have a different sketch page – this blog is just my 2009 Galileo project.

While I haven’t tried your trick of viewing the Moon near a streetlight I can attest to using higher power to dim the image. In fact, to improve on that idea you should try using binoviewers – two eyed views of the moon are absolutely amazing!
