Richard, I go to the link provided and see the laser but I can't find where it is at the "Basement Price of $24.95" it shows it at $50.00. I did a search on "Basement" and it just asks me to supply my email address for their adds, which I did. If they have these for $24.95, I will buy one.

They're "super-secret bargain basement" is here: http://www.jasperlaser.com/index.php?/forms/basement patrick
This site has a number of green lasers for low prices (and free shipping): http://www.dealextreme.com/products.dx/category.911 No APC, but fwiw, Dan On Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 3:23 PM, Richard Tenney <retenney@yahoo.com> wrote:

I should add that 5mW lasers are pretty easily seen from a location like SPOC, however. On Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 7:12 PM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:

A few of us purchased the 100mW laser from DestructiveGear.com last year. Mine cuts through a black plastic trash bag easily, and ignites matches. Last fall, Bob Grant was on the peak of Mount Olympus, talking to me by cell phone, while I was in my front yard at noon, on a sunny day. He and his hiking companion clearly saw the bright green beam as I swept the peak with it. Makes a dandy star pointer; you can see the beam before it's even fully dark and it looks like an infinitely long light saber. My 20mW Beta laser is also an excellent pointer, without the danger of accidentally starting your pocket on fire, lol. I can just imagine myself trying to explain the need for a 200mW laser to my wife. Probably not going to happen any time soon... On Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 10:16 PM, Dan Hanks <danhanks@gmail.com> wrote:

http://destructivegear.com/ They still list the 100mW "Pyro" model, at $370. Last year, those of us who bought them used a $100 discount code. They had an office in the USA and shipped from there, so it seems they had a way around the customs restrictions on >5mW lasers.
Hey Chuck How many batteries per minute does the 200 mw take?

Jim, I'm not familiar with that particular 200mW laser, but my 100mW takes one CR123A lithium 3 volt cell, at $6 to $8 apiece, depending on where I buy them. But I'm still using the same battery that I put in there when I first got it, and I've used it often since. Mine is about the size and diameter of a typical hot-dog frank; not "pen" sized. It came with a print-out of it's actual performance, and actually has a mean output of 112mW, with a stability of 1.87% for the 20 second test duration. The duty cycle for a high-powered diode laser is pretty short. I can only leave mine on continuously for 120 seconds before I have to turn it off and let it cool down for a couple of minutes. If I limit the on-cycle to less than 30 seconds, then it doesn't heat up and can be used with a shorter cool-down cycle. I have yet to see a green laser with a beam bright enough to be used as a star-pointer that is rated for continuous duty (no cool-down cycle required). The higher the power, the shorter the duty cycle. That helps save on the battery use. On Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 4:46 AM, Jim Gibson <jimgibson00@yahoo.com> wrote:

Chuck, I have 5,10 and 20 mw green lasers. The 5 and 10 mw use the AAA pen light batteries but the 20mw pointer uses a lithium battery similar to what you describe, and I like to use it in a teaching situation. I can only see the 5mw laser when the seeing is lousy or there is a bunch of junk in the air. I bought a laser holder from Orion that attaches to their dove-tail mount and I like to use 10mw in my back yard to quickly point my scope at objects when there is no one else around. I would prefer to use a higher output device if I could because as you mentioned they are a lot easier to see. I would like to try that 30mw pen. I think that would be easier to see, good duty cycle wise and still a bit of a safety factor compared to the 200mw light saber.

Jim, that's a very good use for your laser and you're ahead of the curve. Last year SLAS bought a Beta 10mW laser & bracket, and mounted it on the 32" Grim scope, along with a momentary remote switch. That is an extremely effective device for answering the question from visitors, "where exactly is the telescope pointed?" Bruce installed it internally, so it can't be fiddled-with by curious fingers. I was so impressed with it in this application, that I'm seriously considering adapting my 20mW for use as a "finder". I still have my digital light meter, and for anyone who is curious, I can tell you how bright your laser is in terms of lux. It can accommodate lasers up to and slightly over 20mW. I'll bring it to SPOC later this spring. On Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 12:50 PM, Jim Gibson <jimgibson00@yahoo.com> wrote:
