Hi all,
Just wanted some quick advice please. I am looking at purchasing a pointer and wanted to ask the experts a couple of things first.
I will mainly be using the device as part of an astronomy group to point out various objects.
So my questions/concerns are:
What power laser should I consider? I looked at the LZTN - 532nm 5mW Smallest Green Laser Pointer from Lazerer as a starting point. Any comments on this?
I am also concerned about eye damage. Obviously, shining into an eye is dangerous but is their any chance of damage from "leakage", if that is even a correct term? i.e. can light enter your eye even if you are not staring at the end of the beam? Sorry if this sounds like paranoia its just that there will be children around me and I want to be 100% sure of the saftey of their eyes (and mine come to that, as I will be shining the thing).
Finally, is Lazerer a reputable company? I dont want to order something and find it is a cheap rip off.
Many thanks guys.
