The thing that amazes me is that there are all of these regulations in vic regarding Hand held laser pointers over 1mW but there doesn't seam to be anything about laser light shows DJ's use at all, and they come in varieties up to around 40mW. All they say is that qualified people should use them, nothing about licenses or permits.
Also I emailed the Vic police some time ago regarding mounting a laser pointer in a box with a larger power source or plug pack. They informed me that if the devices was originally designed to be hand held then it would still be prohibited. So I would be very cautious of anyone telling you that if you permanently mount it on the telescope it would be ok.
