Hey Wigdaddy will you be playing the Chicago Open? My Dad will be there playing I think. I will probably go too. That Laser is something else.I get that a lot. Funny no one ever asks me what use I have for my combat knives, working as a chess instructor.
a) It's a high-powered laser, not a "laser pointer," and b) it's amazingly functional. If you direct it at a ceiling, you light up the room (or cave, bunker, etc.) as though there were a bright bulb there. You can do this to someone else's room as well if you desire, even if they're a few miles away, and you can leave it on for hours if need be.
It has unlimited range for all practical purposes, enabling one to highlight objects as far out as the horizon easily and with exceptional precision. This works even at high altitudes where the horizon is farther out; I once hit the prairie east of Denver from the high country about 50 miles to the west. The beam is so potent that it burns objects easily even at the 20% power setting; on full power it can start a campfire with little or no tinder.
I purchased the extra lens kit with the Arctic as well; when hiking I like to keep one of the wide-angle lens on it. This functions not only as a superbright flashlight on the low setting but also enables me to instantly disable any hostile fauna with the push of a button, day or night. As well, the beam is visible in the air, just like with a green laser. If I should get lost or stranded, it's a better signal than a flare gun.
And yes, it's great for astronomy.

Same as a knife or a gun, you use it responsibly or you don't use it at all.
Not a flashlight. It's a handheld 1000mW laser, and yes, that picture was taken by an astronaut on the International Space Station. The laser is visible in the picture, brighter than any other light in the greater San Antonio area, because it is intentionally hitting the space station.

Artic Spider, I think. It's so strong it can shine on Uranus.
Spider III Arctic by Wicked Lasers, http://www.wickedlasers.com/ . And it'll burn Uranus to a crisp.
Probably not a terrible idea. I'll drop you a line if I decide to go. What are you guys rated?
