I'm within 25 miles of a major airport and about 10 miles from a smaller regional airport. I'm currently using an app on my ipad called FlightRadar that shows planes in the sky relative to my position. I have checked it several times and sure enough I look up in the sky and see the blinking...
I have read alot here in the great LPF community and took advice of many before jumping in. I was really impressed with the Optotronics 36mw 532 green I bought for my first laser.
After more study my second laser was a Laserbtb 500mw 405nm Violet. I know I read everywhere, and I think I even...

Thanks for the help

Conair,

You're flirting with disaster Jim. Technically yes you could look at the beam without causing permanent damage but four mirrors in a room creates ALOT of chances for reflection (BAD).
