Yup, Mars showed a moving image for about 1 - 1 1/2 hours before the high
fog rolled over. My webcam showed images of mars when you could not even
see light visually (unaided) in the direction of the planet.
Green lasers finally got down to my price. Picked up one off of Ebay for
89 (+ shipping). Read the ad, figured the guy at least knew what he was
talking about and took the chance. Received it yesterday, works great,
very happy with it. It even came in a nice metal case that it will never
see again <G>.
Last week a dollar store opened in the little Nob Hill shopping center
near El Camino and 237. Yesterday, I picked up a pen there that also has
a read LED light in it. For 1 dollar you cant beat it and the light
portion comes off and can be used separately. (comes with batteries).
Today, I am going to pick up a few more.
