Can’t tell Venus from a distant Southwest A320?
Looking through a cardboard tube cramping your style?

Then maybe you’ll want one of them new-fangled “telescope” thingies in your Christmas stocking.

In September, The Franklin’s Joel N. Bloom Observatory will host a special telescope buyer’s guide version of their monthly “Night Skies in the Observatory” event. The event runs from 7 to 9. Admission $5.

Bring someone you love…or someone who’d love to buy you something.

They’ll even tell you how to use it.

Step 1: use the open eye…
