“The long term effects of exposure to high powered 20 watt sodium LASER guide stars are unlikely to be fully understood for a few more decades, as it is such a new technology and only a relatively small group of people have been exposed to it. LASER radiation safety standards appear to be where X-Ray radiation safety standards were in the 1900's.”

“Working the night shift exposed me to very high powered 20 watt industrial sodium LASER light. We were told that it was harmless to the naked eye if we did not look directly into the LASER beam. Walking into the observatory dome being illuminated by the bright scattered orange laser light was a common occurrence.”

“I ventured up onto the domes of the world's largest telescopes a few times. The view was impressive! The curvature of the domes means that you can only walk around on about twenty feet of the domes before developing a fear of sliding off them on the rapidly sloping surface. What amazes me today was that I was not required to wear a safety harness during the fun activity while breathing very high altitude air that was 40% deficient of oxygen that was known to make people faint. A strenuous climb up ladders was required to get to the top of the domes and a fall from that height would likely be fatal.”
