Fair enough, but it might be worth keeping an eye on the page though, if the stock does not move the price will drop. Though this is probably unlikely due to their popular laser effects kits that can utilise this module.

1) Maybe, it depends on the size of the group. I use a 10mW model and the beam is clearly visible from 3-4 meters to the side of the beam.
2) Maybe if it's a green one, you'd have to ask the supplier about the power specs. A red collimation laser is not suitable for use as a sky pointer.

I have googled the name and came up blank for lasers at all the Andrews Antenna listings. Do you possibly mean Andrews Communications? (Lee Andrews)
If I can find a cheap laser pointer I would be interested in one for out Astro Association.

Yep I reckon he means Andrews Communications.
