I have no issues with people protesting about whatever issues they feel like protesting about. God bless them. I’ve been involved in some protests myself.

Sometimes when I go out and shoot the Milky Way at night, I will use a laser pointer to align my star tracker to the North star, however, I am always extremely cautious to make sure there are no aircraft anywhere in the vicinity of where I’m pointing the laser. I even use Flightradar24 to make sure there aren’t any planes that I might not be seeing.
