I've heard that they very effectively shut streetlights off. I'm pretty sure that you're not supposed to use them for that either, tho. On Mon, Oct 1, 2012 at 7:38 PM, Mark Shelton <astroshelton@yahoo.com> wrote:
I have had one for years. I take it camping and it lights up Deer and Elk like noon day. LOL I guess that is not what you were looking for in an answer.

Mapleton is pretty good for limited streetlights, which is one of the

reasons why I live here. However there was a bright streetlight in an empty field next to my house that drove me crazy. Fortunately some 'vandal' shot it out the night before my new telescope was delivered. Everything has been nice and black ever since (going on 2 years). Lucky me... I've read about using lasers to turn off lights. I've always wanted to try it. Finally, something to do with the assorted crappy Amazon laser pointers I've bought over the years. The idea of using a tripod had not occurred to me. It is a good idea. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
