The salient part is the 5th paragraph, and the link contained therein.

Thanks for providing that useful link, Steffen.

It's interesting to note that they do not specify an upper limit to the power level, only that a permit is required for > 1mW (approved astronomical organization member excluded). However, I've heard anecdotal reports that it can be difficult getting anything > 5mW through customs.

I've never tried, but would like to purchase a pointer of reasonable power level for astronomy use. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Cheers
