Laser Pointer/Finder Add in Nov ed' of Sky at Night
Just a little funny aside, there was an add in the November issue of "Sky at Night" magazine for a green laser pointer/finderscope that read, and I quote..."5 megawatt laser pointer/finder". Definitely a misprint, as they actually meant 5mW (5 milliwatt) not 5MW (5 megawatt)
Although, I can see the uses for such a powerful pointer..... like "removing" pesky plane overflights and Iridium satellites that always seem to find your FoV
Could even come in handy for uses against recalcitrant observers from the general public, at star parties, who hog scopes or just plain muck up around them
Or, for uses against recalcitrant neighbours, football, pony and other clubs who violate your observing with floodlights...or the local light on the power pole
Well personally I'd be cutting them off at the base and replacing them with a dense 6ft high shrubbery to shield head lights from the road.
Maybe even two shrubberies, to give it a tiered effect.

Or have the 6' at the front and 10' at the rear, to kill the street lamps
