I need some recommendations for a laser with a beam that would provide the best visibility in daylight environments. I'm a forester and I want to use a tripod mounted laser to shoot property line boundaries. Basically it will allow me to distinguish between trees standing to one side of the beam or the other. Working distance could be up to a 1/4 mile away from the laser but generally would not exceed 500ft.
From the research I have conducted so far it seems a green 532 nm, 300+ mW, would fit the bill.
What about a 520nm? I read they are more stable and cheaper but I do not want to sacrifice too much visibility and defeat my purpose.
Duty cycle is not an issue as I have devised a remote switch where I don't have to leave the laser on continuously.
Thanks for your help in advance.
