Think of the moon. What does it look like when you can first see it? - A cresent.
The next thing to figure is if it is a monring star, which side of it is the sun on? Thats the side on which you draw the crescent.
Finally - what happens to the image when viewed through a Galilean telescope (referacting telescope)?
