I got it working now by removing the eye piece. Is it important I keep the eyepiece on for this? The hole is just so tiny on the eye piece I can't get the laser aligned corectly through it. Thanks.
No, this will not work. you can not create more light, you can also not destroy the light. the light there is will all there ever will be, and it will eventually diverge so it is not visible at all.
I have read that you can limit the divergence of a laser by sending it backwards through a telescope. I have not yet been able to do this with my telescope, but seem to have some success using less powerfull lenses. Would anyone be willing to help me conduct this expiriment. The problem I am...
