You may want to keep the 5mW green laser for use at star parties where they are allowed. The 15mW will definitely annoy more people than the 5mW version.

I also had picked up a 5 mW at Fry's electronics but it's too dim for my wife to see well when we're around semi dark areas (close street lights etc) but worked okay in darker areas. The Fry's unit was $98 with tax the Wicked is $118 with shipping so $20 for 3 times the power! The Fry's unit is going back. -----Original Message----- From: az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jack Jones Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 9:38 PM To: az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [AZ-Observing] Re: Green Laser Pointers That's cuz you don't know me I guess! I got the 15mW laser a couple months ago and talked up Wickedlasers around for a while. The website is a hoot. It was about $115 and it really beats the typical green laser. I used the link thru Yahoo Shopping to get a 7% discount, don't know if it's still there.

I find that when I have the MRS. out during our backyard astro sessions that it can be a bit difficult to convey things at times (constellations, etc.) So a pointer would definitely help... -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list. -- No virus found in this incoming message.
