be careful out there....

The notion that you need a laser to shine a light on an object in the night sky is as fraudalent as saying that an outrageously expensive 3 inch apo can give you the same view as a dirt cheap 6 inch reflector.

Fools and their money are soon parted.

Astronomy is full of fools.

This particular fool cannot even spell "fradulent" correctly.

Proves my point.

We Astronomers must be all fools.

"FRAUDULENT"

Hope that's right.

Declan,
I see what you're saying but I wouldn't worry about it, its written on the laser.
I suppose been a relatively new technology, many people might not realise how dangerous they are.
Most people know how dangerous a hammer can be.

Try an use a laser at a starparty and you'll soon discover how dangerous they can really be. :lol:

The trick is to just turn it on across the sky for a fraction of a second and watch everyone go "Wow!" at the meteor that just went past!

Guess I'll have to find more creative ways to cause confusion at starparties now. :twisted:

Don't worry Peter. Ten years ago I couldn't even spell "engineer" , and now I is one.
