I think I'd better pass on the lasers for now Kev. I don't fancy the sound of being a guest of Her Majesty. There's a navigation beacon not far from where we live so I see a lot of commercial flights heading out. In fact, I've told my wife that the brightest and most common star I see at night turns out to be called Boeing.
The red torch I mentioned is purely for earthly use - e.g. finding the lens cap I just dropped, etc..
