Hello,
My wife had wanted a green laser pointer for pointing at stars for a few years now. After doing a lot of research the past couple of days it seems a 520nm would be the way to go because I wouldn't have to worry so much about the temperature (gets cold here in Pennsylvania) and trusting that the vendor put a proper IR filter in it.
At this point, I'm not sure what mW I would need. Likely it's only going to be used on clear nights. I don't need a laser pointer that can burn wood, etc. And I don't know of reputable brands or where to buy a reputable brand in the US. I keep finding cheap chinese ones which is what I do not want and I don't want something taking forever from ePacket delivery from China.
Looking forward to your suggestions.
