Hi forum
Firstly I know almost nowt about electronics or lasers except from what I've read in the hour or so I've spent on the forum (mostly :drool:ing at jayrobs kits)
I'm looking for a pointer for astronomy and was really just considering a $47 200mW green DX module hosted in the DX $8 5mW pen. Or, heaven forbid, if that was above my capabilities a solder free, mint tin host
However I have now made the mistake of coming here to LPF and now think I would prefer a 1W bluray instead LOL or at least as a NEXT project.
As an initial astronomical pointer is the green going to give me more beam for my buck?
Off to read up on what I need to know.
Thanks
