New to lasers and really enjoyed reading your forum to make my decision. (I used the search even read the Newb to buying your first green laser thread!)
I'm going with the Nova X50 as I'm interested in having a nice green laser for pointing out satellites when stargazing (saw an awesome trifecta last week of Shuttle/ISS/Progress here in Houston).
Thought I'd get one powerful enough to show up in city dusk. But not have to be too concerned with safety gear like glasses etc. No need to burn (*yet* future blue-ray maybe???), but just a nice solid quality night/dusk pointer.
Any last recommendations before I place the final order with Nova? I considered the Optotronics 55mW as well.
I've read there is a 5% discount for members, so I'll mention that in my order.
Will make a nice bday gift for me and good to meet you guys
