I don't really mess around with low power LASER's these days. My hobby is with the much higher power multi joule output Class 4 flashlamp pumped Rhodamine 6G (or other dye) Chemical Dye LASER's which emit their coherent light radiation in sub micro second huge pulses. More »

Just get a low powered 635nm wavelength diode LASER say with a 5 milliwatt output.Collimate the LASER beam with a telescope (It makes the beam more parallel with a much much smaller spot size at a distance depending on the magnification),coaxially mount another telescope with sighting reticule on a stable mount. The pesky helicopters will go away. More »
