[AZ-Observing] Re: Astroimages from Cherry Road

Yup... That would be my laser pointer after I think 10 seconds of exposure.
Comparing Tom's and Bernie's (http://www.pbase.com/bsanden/image/46095331)
photographs, I imagine even a second's worth of illumination is sufficient
to appear on an image.

No need to experiment anymore, Jon; I think we have all the data we need.

P.S.  I think I'm pointing at the Trifid in Bernie's picture.
