id like a recommendation for a green laser
that is potent enough
but doesn't burn stuff or
heat itself much either,
and can be pointed to stars clearly in a light polluted night sky.
im a noob in lasers and astronomy (where i intend to use it):
my goal is to fit it inside this little bugger here:
Laser Pointer Bracket for Celestron SkyScout | Orion Telescopes
which is a pointer that attaches to this thing here
SkyScout Personal Planetarium (item #93970) / SkyScout / Products / Celestron.com
which allows u to identify stars, galaxies, messiers...etc in the night sky.
plan is:
once gfriend points the above contraption to a target,
ill move my telescope to fetch it.
problem is,
lasers sold to amat. astronomers are overpriced and weak ($100 for 5mW),
and aa's complain about 5mw being barely visible,
but once anyone suggests going higher,
the forum gets sort of shutt off because of the "it's illegal" gang,
that assumes everyone is a retard and will flash it at people's eyes and airplanes.
sorry for the long rant and explanations,
im just trying to spend wisely...
tks for reading.
