Laser pointers

Hello, everyone, just registered.
I just bought an awesome 125 mw laser pointer from
http://www.wic....com for starpointing.
For star pointing, the laser more than exceeds my expectations, the green beam can be seen for miles and seems to touch the stars. Yes, i know those lasers are a bit expensive, but i highly recommend them as those lasers are so powerful, they can pop balloons and melt plastic, but i know we as astronomers won't be using laser pointers for such things ; ).
and also, using the Promo code 5202 to buy a wicked laser will give you 5% off, which doesn't sound like much but it definitely is as the lasers cost a few hundred. Anyways, i was just wondering what laser pointers you guys use?
