Light functions as advertised
The Rigel Systems Starlight functions as expected. I like the fact that the weather sealed body prevents issues on those nights with heavy dew.

BIG disappointment
I expected more. The beam is considerably weaker than my friend's $8 unit. And it seems much weaker than the one I owned earlier.

Handy little light
Not real bright so it doesn't mess up your night vision. I put it on a lanyard around my neck.

A welcome addition to any rig
This little hand-warmer/red light is perhaps one of the most welcome additions to any astronomer's rig. It pulls double duty as a hand-held heater and a bright red LED light. The only drawback is everyone will want to borrow it and will drain th...

Agena Large Laser Pointer Bracket
I am a Senior (= 'older') Astronomer and the Red Dot Finders just do not work for me. I tried the small 0.5” diameter, 5mW, Green laser pointers that use 2 AAA batteries, but they are dim and die in Cold weather. The Large Agena StarGu...

Finderscope Bracket
This is an excellent laser holder; all metal, rigid, easy to use thumbscrews, plastic tipped thumbscrews to prevent damage to the laser body, and it works with just about any laser because it accepts a wide range of laser diameters. Set it and forget...

Green Laser and Flashlight—A Good Combo
I purchased the HoTech Astro Aimer G3 - Green Laser and Flashlight, even though I already had several green lasers, several red flashlights, and several white flashlights. Having all three in one package is wonderfully convenient!

Compact and versatile
This is a handy combination device for campers and astronomers. The compact, rounded shape and travel pouch make it easy to carry along. The higher capacity of the 2 models is easily worth the small additional cost. Overall size is similar to other 5...

Would not buy again
This light was great while it work. However, it is cheaply made and not durable. The thumbwheel broke after about 1.5 years or so, which translates to maybe 30 hours of use. The light cannot function without a working thumbwheel.

An excellent aiming device
This is a useful product. I used a Telrad on my 10" DOB with good results for several years. But I grew tired on getting down on my knees in order to sight onto high-altitude stars and craning my neck to aim at others. With a laser pointer and this...

Great flashlight, or how to keep your fellow observers happy
This flashlight will keep you in good favor with your fellow observers. You can adjust it down to a minimum light level easily, something you can't do with a regular flashlight and some taillight tape. My only complaint is that it seems to come apa...

HoTech Astro Aimer G3 Green Laser and Flashlight
I use the Astro Aimer G3 primarily when setting up and taking down the telescope and binoculars for the evening. The variable 3-position red led brightness levels are very useful for keeping track of items and setting up in total darkness. The white...

Nice flashlight
Light pattern is a very even circle of red light with a brighter ring around the edge of it. Dims well. Rotary switch is off at center position, lights when you turn past a click stop either way, then gets brighter as you turn. Looks like the same ...

Brilliant!
I love green laser pointers. No more neck and back aches from looking thru finder scopes! And this bracket facilitates their use perfectly! Very easy to align to your scope. Mounting the bracket to your scope may require a little ingenuity, but I'm s...
