    Some hand portable lasers that are powerful enough can create a BEAM of light instead of just a dot at night .Due to this awesome Star Wars Type LIGHT SABRE effect that can travel for Hundreds of feet into the dark sky , many people use Green Lasers for pointing out precisely to friends and colleagues particular stars . Most peoples finger cant travel for hundreds of feet accurately unless you are one of Spielberg''s other creations ET . This is a great effect but we would like to advance warn potential purchasers that the utmost care must be taken when pointing ANY laser into the sky avoiding all aircraft as you can be imprisoned for pointng ANY laser at an aircraft also ALL green lasers are temperature sensitive and the output will dim if the unit becomes cold . You will need to keep the laser within normal operating temperatures , as most star pointing takes place outside the casing can easily cool although placing in a pocket for a few minutes is normally enough to warm it up enough for use again the main effect of the cold is loss of output power.

    At that power level the pointer sits firmly in the Class 3B area which is 'direct interbeam viewing is ALWAYS hazardous'.

    In other words, you WILL cause optical damage if you shine it in somebody's eyes.

    Frankly, this should be removed from MSE grabbit as this is not a toy and can cause serious harm. There is almost no serious application for this in the UK.
    The atmosphere is currently filled with hypocrisy so thick that it could be sliced, wrapped, and sold in supermarkets for a decent price and labeled, 'Wholegrain Left-Wing, Middle-Class, Politically-Correct Organic Hypocrisy'.
