I had a feeling that may be the case, but I recall reading years ago (when I used to be on the ATM mailing list) about people doing this successfully to make artificial stars to test optical figure so thought I'd give it a go.

I was only going to use a CREE because I have a stack of them not being used, they do have brightness adjustment so no worries there.
But after your positive review, I'm now thinking about the Hubble again.
