Use of Laser Pointers
Well, just a week or so ago I ordered a laser pointer (5mw). I just watched an episode of Catalyst which informed me that anything over 1mw is illegal in Australia. I'm a little confused. I found Tasmanian police information sheet that generally suggests that it is ok to use a laser pointer for legitimate reasons. No mention of power limitations. Anyone have any advice? I take it a 1mw laser pointer is of little use for astronomical purposes? Just how much power does one require for sighting?
