Oh, yeah. Just a wee bit inadequate...

Thanks Trevor. That's why when I was up at Wiruna, the folks up there that night said a laser pointer could only be used for the first two hours when doing a sky tour - the imaging folks wouldn't be disturbed that way. But I guess a blanket ban will deal with people who can't follow instructions.

Hmmm, it's got me thinking. I might look at making a red dot finder rig that people can look through to see where the scope is pointed to. Not as convenient as a pointer, but will do the job too. I've got a couple lying around not doing much - two set at different heights will help more people. I'll see what I can do.
