I purchased Escher's optical table, optics and mounts. I just got them yesterday and put these two little configurations together. Its tons of fun doing this kind of "light art".

I am using a Meirlights 250mw 532nm an Ultra Lasers 180mw 473nm, both labby's. The divergence on the Ultra Lasers is incredible. I will have to finish up my review of it. Other than my argon, it has the lowest divergence of all my lasers.

Here are the pics:

THAT'S SO COOL!

Can you adjust the table to make different shapes? You should totally try to make a "circular" beam, or a spiral, lining up the mirrors to form a dodecahedron or something like that.
