Hey yes it is a beaut. Very bright but very small hole. This will give my efforts at collimation a boost. The variable light brightness is great, just what is needed. Now I need to sell the laser for good.
Tony, collimation for planetary work is super super critical. My collimation at the mo is near perfection, definitely great for DSO work, but at magnifications over 1041x with the toucam in and imaging the planets it needs to be tweeked often. My goal is to see if I can get images close to Damien Peach. Most of you have seen my jupiter image from earlier in the year and I had the collimation very close then. I now want it perfect for Mars, crap seeing aside. Every 2.5 years is a long time if a mistake is made. So standby. I will post images with how well it works and some images of the diffraction rings it creates.
