I have not used one but I Googled "50MW green laser" and found several companies that sell them. I'd like to see one but they are too pricey for my toy budget. I also came across this caution: http://www.bigha.com/laser/scam_alert.php Patrick

Forget pointing - I like the claim that you can "pop balloons and light matches" with the 90mw model, so I'm assuming that I can chase away my neighbor's cat with the 100mw model? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Hards" <chuckhards@yahoo.com> To: <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Saturday, October 15, 2005 12:21 AM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Re: Green lasers | Are these for real?
