Re: Green Laser Pointers

While on a recent trip, my wife took the opprotunity to sign me up to give a group of Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts an astronomy presentation as an opener to their work towards Astronomy Badges. I have a old G8 but which works great for me but I doubt it is enough to keep a bunch of kids engaged for long. I've heard that Green Laser Pointers can be see by an audience at night and there for may be a good choice for pointing out the night sky, thereby keeping the other kids, not looking through the eye peice at that moment, involved. The problem is that there seems to be a dramatic diference in prices out there which I'm sure has some reflection on quality/capability. If any of you have experience with these I'd appreciate your recommendation.
