He must be working on a nice review taking this much time! I don't care, give us a short review with beam shots! Gimmie!

Agreed, Beamshots, Beamshots, Beamshots, :wave:![]()
Yup. I'm spoiled by nice nice profile of a 532nm dpss. Don't care for battery operated lasers that project a rectangle or line.Finally! :wave:
A bit contrary to other ppl here,
I wish to see the enlarged beam spot (using some sort of beam expander or some magnifying glass)
Because IMO that's what makes DPSS worth more than diode lasers in terms of beam profile![]()

All true. There's nothing like a good Gaussian beam profile. You can never get it with a direct diode laser. That beautiful TEM00 is really something to behold. Can't wait to see this one. :yh:
Guys, just note it was hot weather and I did not run it long for beam shots - I was worried not to make it too hot. So not only it likely did not reached peak yet, but I think it might go brighter at cooler temperatures. As it is usual with all others DPSS.
Edit: For night sky I have to prepare safe environment. Likely after weekend as I'm away from home till then.
