Stick a red dot finder on your hot shoe; would do the same job with no possibility of danger,

Yes raymo, I'm aware of the legal requirements re using a laser pointer. And I am a member of an astro society.

I have both, have tried them both outside, after dark, and I can see SFA with the red dot finder when pointed at the sky, whereas the green pointer throws a visible beam which is a useful assist in where to point your DSLR.
