Laser Lines

I wonder if the use of a laser-"line" would be okay.

I would tend to think that Art. 16's purpose of not using an object to draw a line was mainly so as not to "alter the ground surface"

- but having a partner stand at the proposed landing spot and use their toe as a target point is ok -

...so if someone were to use a laser-level (a common device used primarily in home construction) which casts a clear orange line along the ground (without disturbing the actual surface - of course) might present a useful tool.

On Sunny days, it wouldn't be very useful, but at night, it'd be quite easily seen.
