Very nice sharp pics! The shots where you used two gratings, one horizontal and one vertical, is exactly what a "Matrix" diffraction grating does.

Thanks to all of you for the very nice comments! Every time I take these photos I learn something new. Happy lasing everyone! :beer:

Update to add some new pictures. Decided to try some more matrix diffraction shots. This time both the 532nm and 589nm through same set of gratings:

Added my <5mW 650nm in to the matrix as well:

532nm matrix diffracted and 589nm fan diffracted:

Enjoy! :beer:

Thanks! Yeah you won't be disappointed with having some gratings. I really enjoy my photography with them, it is so surreal to be in total darkness with fog and the diffracted beams. :beer:
