So, that being said, what do I have to do now to lawfully own one and where can I get one with decent power to be used as star parties in light polluted suburbia?
I need for groups of ten or so people to stand around me as a group while I point out constellations and features within.

Hi Baz,
I use the Arctic Fox myself and these are available in Australia from the following link. The are a weapon sight though and not the pencil type, but are limited to 5mW. They are excellent for mounting on a telescope with the additional mounting rail.
