Dim Laser
I bought a green laser pointer a while ago. Certainly an awesome finder tool for a dob...... when it works. Pretty sure its 10mW so should be plenty bright enough. However, the problem is it starts of nice and bright, then less than half a second later it goes dim :S. I dont use a scope too often and didnt get around to sorting it out when I first bought it unfortunately (so bit over a year since I bought it).
I've got lithium batteries in it, and the almost instant dimming happens in my room, or even after leaving in a pocket for half an hour, so its not because its at cold temperature. I tried leaving it on for a few minutes and it didnt seem to have any effect.
Is there anyway to fix it, is it a dud, or something else? Would be useful to get it working properly (can barely see it sometimes, but its a bit fickle)
