But as Rally said, it would probably be banned very soon at all astro-gatherings.
Or why not use a design similar to RDF or Telrad (also patented..)?

I don't think there's any need for that. As I said, I love replying to useful inputs, but snarky remarks I don't think will do anyone any good.
I chose this method because the other (use of DOE) is too expensive.
The whole thing is about 130x115x115.
I got it: you don't need this and would hate for others to bring them to a party and ruin your night. Good. If you have any other inputs I'm happy to hear.
The underlying Victoria police issue is a valid point. I'm going to look into it more closely.
