    I ordered the NE01. Its DOA. Does not switch on. On trying to charge battery red LED keeps flashing very fast which means error according to leaflet. I also put in a fresh fully charged battery, and it does not work!

    Green laser in 4x4/rally use

    Thanks for your replies. Using GPS, I think the rescue guys can get to about within 50-60 meters of the vehicle. Then its mostly shouting and stuff. But if the driver is injured, shining a laser in the sky is easier than clapping and stuff. I guess 100mW is needed minimum then for dark night...

    Green laser in 4x4/rally use

    This is excellent I think their 20mW is actually 30mW from the chart. 50mW will approach burning category. For visibility around nautical twilight, 20mW one should be enough, right?

    Green laser in 4x4/rally use

    My andromeda galaxy photo goes Viral!!

    Correct! EQ mount or any kind of Autoguider is definitely needed. For wide angle astro, you can go for cheap mounts. As you get to 100mm or so, you need something like Vixen Polarie if you want to do serious astrophotography. However, if you need to use a telescope, you need to invest 400-600$...
