Sorry about the delay in getting back with the results, it's been a busy couple of weeks wrapping up the end of the summer "Festival Season" ....
OK, here's the skinny - I was showing off my 6X like an idiot with a scanner system and an inadvertant hand slip caused the beam to directly reflect into my eye off the FS mirror, about 6 times in a row, quickly (the mirror was active at the time). Well, long story short, about an hour later I posed this thread, and the yellow dot remained quite pronounced (along with a headache) for the remainder of the night, especially when I shut my eye. By morning, the headache was still there a bit (which could have been the tequila) but the yellow dot was only barely visible when I shut my eye tight (and that itself may have been a "ghost" who knows...)
Bottom line, I'm OK, thanks for the concern - but I would REALLY like to stress the importance of eye protection again and again - I have been playing and working with lasers for some time now, and I will admit 2 things, #1 I have obviously become lax with my safety consciousness, which I have since fixed, and #2 I had absolutely NO IDEA how quickly a simple mistake could actually jeapordize my vision, it was SO FAST I had no real time to react until temporary damage was done!
Whew - close call!
