Hi laser kids,
Cool site and a great data/knowledge base.
I have a question.....
I have been using 50Mw+ Green lasers in my astronomical public outreach sessions, both in-hand pointers and mounted on the Telescope via a Zhumell laser holder. Using it to slew to celestial targets is a great tool and impressive for the visitors. Don't know how I managed without one before.
But I was thinking.....
I would like to mount three Green laser modules, (or similar), along the outside far rim of the telescope tube, (C11 SCT) - and have the three beams converge into space and unto my selected object. Not only helping to find my objects, but it would look so cool.
Something Dr. No would use.
Any insights on how I could construct such a Tri-beam like this...controlled with a single switch and perhaps powered by a 12V power center via inverter or something like that?
Thank you.
Respectfully,
Astro Joe
