  1. I'm a beginner starting to make a reflective Dobsonian telescope. Any advice, any common mistakes to look out for?

    Laser pointers

    (You can skip down to the 2nd paragraph if you want to) I'm getting a Celestron 20x80 giant binoculars, with a tripod. I know that with high power binoculars/telescopes, it gets harder and harder to locate a star, cluster, galaxy, nebula, etc. because your field of view declines with higher mag. each time. However, I had once seen someone use a laser so strong you could literally see the ray of light, and I had an idea to align them with my 20x binos so that I could aim it at a celestial object with much greater ease. With further research, I learned that people actually did that, attaching "laser pointers", as they were called, to their telescopes using things called "brackets". The only difference was that my case was binoculars. So basically, I wanted to ask if it is possible to attach a laser pointer to my binoculars, not telescope.
