bit of help please

[astro]

hi guys'n'girls need some advice from the experts in choosing the right laser for astronomy
to put on my telescope instead of a finder scope i don't need it to burn anything
but powerful enough so you can see it against the night sky
don't know what's the best colour as never seen one personally only on youtube
and what is the life span of a laser so please any recommendation don't want to go out and buy a laser that wont suite my needs
thanks

Well I'd recommend a 5-30mW green. Now if you don't mind spending a bit more you could get it from somewhere like www.laserglow.com but if you want a cheap one then go to www.dealextreme.com ( If your in the US you'll need to ask a member on this forum to order it for you and send it to you ). Hope this helps. Also try and get one with a clicky switch

For astronomy I recommend the Aries 20 from Laserglow.
Then you don't have to worry about the maximum time you can leave it on and still isn't so bright that it ruins your night vision

Send a PM to ( scopeguy20 ) & ask him what he uses, he's an astronomer rob
