What with all the controversy of pilots reporting being painted by green
lasers, for far longer than a split second. I am wondering if this is within the capabilities of amateur astronomer equipment? e.g. could a LX-90 with a green laser mounted on it, be capable of doing such a feat? I've never owned a alt/az goto, and I don't know if such hardware could be fast and smooth and accurate enough to pull this off, i.e. track the cockpit say for 5 or 10 seconds? It seems unlikely to me..If I had to bet, I'd point my finger at some black-ops BS, after all, it's common practice for military pilots to practice EW and target civilian"bogies", and maybe they are yet again crossing the line? Thoughts? Orion. |
