A few of us were at SPOC last night; Chris Clark was giving a refresher course for the 32" (many thank, Chris!). It was the first time I've had a chance to use the big scope since Bruce installed the laser pointer. It is installed inside the telescope "cage" such that the general public can't easily access it. The remote switch is conveniently located near the eyepiece, and Bruce has installed a long tube on the front to eliminate glare. I actually used it as a "finder" on two objects and it worked very well for that purpose. It's primary purpose is to show guests where the telescope itself is pointing. The only way anyone could be exposed to the beam is if they were on the top of the observatory wall and the telescope happened to be pointing directly at them. The public and telescope operators can't be exposed to the beam on-axis. Many thanks to Bruce for a thoughtful, safe, and functional installation!
