Doug ive got one coming from the south australian mail order company "telescopes and astronomy" , its a 5mw and currently on special for 125 , ive seen siruis optics and Astronomy online selling 5mw ones for 169 , dont know wether its the same brand or not ?You can get ones with more output but the prices start to rise , Matthew from the TaA said the 5mw would be suitable for most users ......although in full moon light and strong LP the effectiveness of the beam may be diminised.
About a month ago i first saw GLPs being used at a club dark viewing night and i was pretty impressed , they are certainly handy in explaining patterns and objects to people . Caution would have to be applied but i didnt sense any effect to my night vision.
Im hoping to attach one to my sct and use the goto to help direct my other scope . Once here ill post a message about how it goes.
