Oooh! My green laser pointer comes useful, as we try to find our target field. Our star itself is a relatively nameless 15th magnitude object, but it is near the 2nd mag star Nunki (aka Sigma Sag).

One week later, my discussion with immigration in Dubai went like this:

Them: Sir, is that a laser pointer you have with you?

Me: Yes, it is?

Them: What color is it?

Me: Green.

Them: Please sign this form, and we will destroy your laser pointer for you.
