You say the device is to be be mounted on a tripod next to the telescope. How close to the scope does it have to be?

It can be within 20-30m if the beam is strong enough.
We did something similar once where we set a laser in an LX200 finder bracket,and after aligning the mount, pointed it at the SCP,
The laser was easily visible from multiple other nearby mounts. Cant do it anymore tho :-) as the nanny state deems us to be terrorists.
