 Hi John,
 
A very bright point source can be made by removing the collimating lens on a laser pointer.  I remove the lens with a hacksaw.

Hi All,
 
In my quest for a test with the abbilities of a star-test
but without the restriction of atmospheric-interferrance.
I think I have found a Happy-medium!
rummageing-thru my 6ft high stack of old
"Astronomy issues" , allas! but what did I see, a ray of hope!
[parden the pun], 
In "issue July 1994" a description of how to make
an "Artificial-star" with "Fiber-optics" and instructions on how to-use!! 
YES!,,oh bliss! ,, "science doth prove itself" for me again.
The "ATM Goddess" she doth have pity on me..,, mear-mortal.
She Doth shine Her cadence upon me !!
I will " sacrifice"  a piece of optic in Her name!
[boy do I feel good]
 
Any comments on my new-found test??
please feel free!!
 
John Moore
