newbie here..

Hey everyone! I'm new to the site, and the world of lasers, I purchased a 5mw violet and 5mw green (still waiting on shipping.) Just to start with! Any pointers or need to knows I've been doing a lot of research on how lasers work but trying to find a step in the next direction any input is welcome

I should also mention they're astronomy laser pointers full beam

two bits of advice-- your 'intro' thread should be in the welcome section (at the top) and do not double post..

some spend months reading here before joining- try not to ask questions already answered dozens of times- make the 'search' your new best friend-
also adding your location in your personal profile is a must if you expect any help-
