20+ years ago, my high school teacher used a 2 cell torch on which you could focus the beam into a reasonable "pencil of light". You could see the beam and work out to which star he was pointing. Sure the laser is more defined, but it did the trick. Certainly helped if there was moisture or dust in the atmosphere so there was something for the light to reflect off. A dolphin torch is better, but more likely to blind those around you when you forget to turn it off as you point it downwards.
