Just wish I could find my multi meter to see what the voltage is.
Maybe someone a little more electronically mined can figure out what it is.

Looks very interesting.
For an artificial star try setting the light near a ball bearing as far as practical. Focus the scope on the image of the light on the BB (in a dark room).
I may be interested if you have any spare setups. When it comes to electronics I'm all thumbs, and blisters.
