:bowdown:
Short time lurker, just registered. Started out with one of the cheepie lasers from china. (focusable, lockable, "200mW", green from focalprice) I wanted to add an IR filter, or at least test one, so I pulled one from a webcam. After removing the focusable lense and not having much luck finding a place to put the ir filter, I re-assembled the laser (w/o the filter) and when I fired it back up I had a lot of...Splash? I'd search but I don't know what you call it. Excess noise, splash, etc. around the main dot. Where does this come from and can I get rid of it? Or am I just hosed on my new laser?
