Personally, i find the use of green lasers by other people very annoying. While it¡¯s a great tool for pointing out objects to an interested group, it¡¯s distracting and annoying to anyone not in that group. So a huge modicum of discretion is required, especially at public telescope nights. And any reasonable person would never point out flying aircraft.
Then there is the frequent misuse. I was at the beach in the Lake of Two Rivers camp ground and small group of, i would guess non-astronomy people, armed with a couple of green lasers proceeded to play light sabre tag. I did voice my opinion, but it was not welcome and they did not stop.

It's illegal to project any concentrated light source into canadian controlled airspace. especialy lasers > 1 milliwatt.
Some think this is reasonable to protect landing aircraft.
But check the fineprint: everywhere in canada above 30000 feet is controlled airspace.
Mark Garneau's law restricting hobby drones is equally excessive.

fyi you may be hard pressed to find much legally since TC rules are quite precise on power prohibition.

I have one but it doesn't do well in the cold. Any recommendations? Is it possible to find one locally now that Focus Scientific is no longer?
Cheers,
