Thanks, I ended up ordering a couple 5mW pointers from them, and I finally got my Sanwu 80mW today. The 5 mW was plenty for Astronomical viewing. I can't wait to get back up north and try the Sanwu. Unfortunately I ordered one with a pattern cap figuring they would send an extra cap, but I just...
Thanks for the feedack, it sounds like a good option to start with. I've already ordered the 304 532 nm 80mW laser from Sanwu; but I'd still like a lower power laser as well, especially if I'm stargazing with friends and I want to hand it to someone else to point something out. And I'd have the...
I looked at that one, as well as the Lyra. They do seem like better values except for the 100% duty cycle listed for the Galileo. The Anser and Lyra also take AAA batteries, which is a bouns as I could use rechargeables. The Galileo uses a larger capacity CR123A, which has the benefit of lasting...
I'm looking to pick up a <5mW green laser for star gazing. LaserGlow has a nice selection, but I had read in the "GUIDE: Which company shouold I buy from?" thread that they are no longer producing qualiy lasers. Is this the case for all of their lasers, or just their higher powered offerings...
Hi from the GTA,
I've lurdked here before and just thought I'd sign up. I have an engineering background and have worked as an engineer for about 20 years. Even though I'm more of a knuckle dragging mechanical type, I do have some experience with wiring up some basic circuits and have made more...
