    Generic battery-powered green 5mW from Meritline

    I'm not complaining or anything, i'm rather fascinated with my "little" laser. I love seeing this beautiful green beam. <3 But i remember seeing topics in which people asked for pictures so i thought to myself "i shall provide". Well, have a great Christmas everyone! :D

    Generic battery-powered green 5mW from Meritline

    A friend suggested that they may have send me the 50mw version by accident. The light is a little dim today, so i took another picture with my webcam. It's also slightly dusty here.

    Generic battery-powered green 5mW from Meritline

    Within 10 years it's the second time that i've heard about that, i'd call that fairly un-common, but maybe it's a local thing, and i don't really have much to do with Dobsonians either. Well, i still don't see the big up-side, but i guess it's fine if it works for you. I'll stick with my...

    Generic battery-powered green 5mW from Meritline

    This is not that common, and you should know that. Most people use a finder-scope or a red-dot thingy (or both) for finding their objects. Personally i don't see why you would use the laser that way, i find it somewhat silly. Well, i find it hardly sporting to talk down to people like that...

    Generic battery-powered green 5mW from Meritline

    It's fine actually, i mainly mean to point out constellations and "landmark" objects like (for example) the Orion Nebula and the Pleiades, to educate my girlfriend. It's perfectly fine for what it's supposed to do, and while looking at the dot would most likely mess up your adjustment to the...

    Generic battery-powered green 5mW from Meritline

    Interesting. Well, i'm always careful, that thing lights up my small room pretty good. 99% of the time it will be pointing at the stars anyways. :)

    Generic battery-powered green 5mW from Meritline

    I've promised i post once it's here, so here i am. :) I've ordered he described item at 12th of November, and it took about 3 weeks to arrive in Germany from China, which i find reasonable. I uploaded a few pictures for you guys. Ir arrived in this little neat gift box, which is very nice...

    Telescope + HD Webcam. What Am I Looking For

    Oh? That was a troll? Ha! Oh! Sorry, my bad! How stupid of me for not seeing that. Please move along, good sir, while i facepalm for an unspecified amount of time and palm.

    Telescope + HD Webcam. What Am I Looking For

    Actually, while your ISP assigns you a random IP address, that's NOT to keep you anonymous and out of authorities reach, and your ISP also knows who had what IP when, and they are giving that information to the authorities if you are suspected to have committed an offense or crime, there is much...

    Telescope + HD Webcam. What Am I Looking For

    On the off chance that you actually want to look at wildlife/airplains/trains etc and not your neighbor... or worse: No matter if spotting scope or Telescope - you are looking at 500$ + for a quality product, though a scope will be a lot more compact and portable, and with a telescope everything...

    Those Automatic Doors At Supermarkets

    Well, who ever wants to break into our home doesn't even have to bring his own flashlight thanks to that streetlight. In all seriousness though: When i turn it off then i'm most likely not far away, though i doubt anything would happen, considering nothing has in the last 1/4 century, and we...

    Those Automatic Doors At Supermarkets

    Cool, thanks! That would actually be very useful. I live in a dead-end street with 6 houses, nobody is out at night, but that one streetlight keeps polluting the night sky, would be nice though if it could stay off longer. Maybe once i found the sensor i could rig a light to it, which i could...

    Those Automatic Doors At Supermarkets

    Careful with that. You may remember videos of people running against glass doors, making them shatter, this can very dangerous, but i'm all in favor of a good non-destructive prank. :na: I've seen someone shut off a street lantern with a laser, which would actually be mighty useful. How is that...

    sad newz to report

    There isn't really anything appropriate to say in such a situation, eh?! I hope you get well soon, and i wish you the strength to cope with it, i'm very sorry for your loss, mate.

    Looking for laser pointer for pointing at stars.

    I did search the forum before buying, and some actually bought from them and it seemed satisfying. http://laserpointerforums.com/f52/meritline-5mw-green-pointer-37924.html Another person in another topic warned that they may take over a month to ship, but i had a friend in china and non of my...

    "Cat Laser"

    This used to be a concern, but more so now that i've learned a little about them. Surely nobody is going to buy a 1000mW laser to play with their kitties, but today they make specialized laser toys for cats, like this one: Or mouse-shaped pointers, and regular laser pointers are also tagged as...

    Looking for laser pointer for pointing at stars.

    That a bit of a bummer. Last night when i left my last comment i thought we reached the zenith with this, and gone ahead and ordered one from Meritline (17$ delivered - i'll let you guys know how it is once it arrived). 50mW Green Laser Pointer Pen But i really appreciate the gesture. Well, i...

    Looking for laser pointer for pointing at stars.

    Well, as far as the charger is concerned: You guys use 120V-60Hz, we use 230V-50Hz so it probably will not work, and these are a damn side more expensive here, than what Lazers offers, i think they are also a lot less common here, which may explain the higher price, my local electronics store...

    Looking for laser pointer for pointing at stars.

    "Pen" is a good keyword actually. I started searching for "50mw green laser pen", and something came up: 50mW Green Laser Pointer Looked for it here, one guy apparently got it and was quite satisfied but i also found it on YourLasers, found nothing about that specific model from them, but looks...
