Hey guys,

I'm Simon, from Sydney, and I've never actually owned a laser. I was on holiday in South America earlier in the year, and had a couple of basic "astronomy tours", in which the guide had a green laser to point out the stars. I'm now on a mission to find a decent green laser pointer for astronomy as a gift for my girlfriend's dad, who was with us for part of the trip and was fascinated by the lasers being used. This looks like a cool forum with a tonne of info, so I'm looking forward to learning a bit here and hopefully making a good choice for my first laser purchase!

Cheers

You know the laws in Australia make it near impossible to buy a laser pointer that would be powerful enough to see the beam at night. Your best bet is to buy one from someone who is already there. That, or learn how to build one.

Welcome sim84 to the forum. We’ve got a couple other members down in your “neck of the woods” they might be able to give you some pointers. (pun intended)

Enjoy and stay safe. :wave:
