| Brad, I point them at the capsule dead center from as straight on as possible. For pairs this is the best I can do. However, for single mic testing (which would be most of the time) what you can do is use pointer A to hit center of the capsule and pointer B to hit the top or side of the mic for more positioning info. Essentially you are creating a 90 degree angle then that tells more of the story angle wise etc.
You could probably leave a laser pointer on for a month before the battery died, or longer. So I just put them in mic stands, turn them on and point them, then they do not move for the remainder of the testing. Those flashlights I linked above (FYI I did not buy from there, but they have a good price) are so perfect for this and crawling around behind the racks it's ridiculous. You can find sellers who have multiple colors also, I have a black and blue one.
Next time I do this I will snap pics and post them.
