Looks good when projecting with its red twin.

I used smoke but couldn't get the camera to understand.  Maybe a longer exposure??
Mike

You express my exact sentiments. I can't even get my camera to do a proper macro. Really cool laser though.

 

[MarioMaster]

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 get in too big a hurry for the photos. I will try to make a time exposure next.
Thanks -- Mike

Looks real good Mike! Glad to see you have fun with the toy projo! I was at spencers, they still have them only $15 now! Great pics! -Glenn

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

 

[Hemlock_Mike]

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 :

Scopeguy --

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 --

You have a good memory ;D

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......
