An argument against the idea that it's a new telescope owner is that
the green laser pens are typically over $100 (vs. maybe $10-15 for
a typical red laser pointer). Also, the green pointers are mostly
used in amateur astronomy by someone knowledgable about the sky,
who (hopefully) has a bit of common sense.

Apparently David Banach of New Jersey didn't have any.



the program's
been running for over 50 years and I would hate to have it shut down.


On the bright side, they didn't need lasers 50 years ago. :-(
