Khan Scope Centre AstroNotes October 29 2009


The Toronto Star Newspaper published an Article this past week on the
usage  Green Laser Pointers.

Once again pointing out the hazards of aiming these devices at Aircraft.


Astronomers were pointed out as being the main users of these devices.
However, I suspect that it is not amateur astronomer's who are the culprits
here, but more

likely irresponsible individuals purchasing these devices, who think it's
somehow amusing to "blind" a pilot or aircraft.

One such pilot was grounded for 3 months after this type of incident occured.


Interestingly, after publishing this type of article previously, the
incidents seem to have increased! How about that?


Might be time to subscribe to the "Globe and Mail"
instead........


Clear Skies!
