beam shots are easy, but you have to make sure that both the camera and laser are perfectly still, then set your exposure time to a few seconds and bingo - laser beamshot
I see you are having a lot of fun with your new toy. Anyway, what i use for most of the bean shots is a few sticks of nag champa incense, and use lighting in front of the beam with the flash off. I got another small argon btw. This one's multiline
There you go guys !! A multiline ArIon laser. ;D
Chris -- This is working good -- I like the idle feature of the controler. Makes adjustment easy then power at the push of a button.
Snowed a picture of this to a friend -- He thought it was a sump pump :
You are right !! The red spyro is the one you sent me which I put a new laser into. The one on the 488, I got from Spencer Gifts. Took out that POS laser and put in a FS mirror --
Now he (Chris, aka heruursciences) has more stuff to drool over on ebay! BTW, I bought from him some pretty high tech filters, Great deal! shipped really really fast, he gets an AAAAA+++++ seller rating from me!
SG --
I removed all the circuitry from tahe spyro and mounted in a RS box.. The motor/mirror housing is connected by a 6' cord and I can now sit back and spyro 488 from my chair !!
I can't wait for summer......
