Back storey -
I live in the woods. Because of how tall the trees are around my house It gets very dark at night. It's Perfect for shining lasers on and around the trees, and with some dust from my gravel driveway the beams are that much more breath taking *cough*.
So what's the problem? Well, I live in the flight path to (Regan) National Airport, and I worry that there could be a problem if I were to shine a beam uip past the tree tops to point out star constellations to my kids - potentially getting the attention of air traffic. I's not like there's windows on the bottoms of planes - but there's also helicopters.
Recently I've heard stories of people shining lasers at planes and getting in trouble, and I'm not about to be the next - so I don't go into the sky.
My trees are dense so I'm not worried about a beam getting through.
Does anyone have a guide or link to local regulations pertaining to lasers use outdoors for MD, USA? I'll be Google-ing at lunch time.
