No idea what that light is, I think it's just a floodlight on top of that building. It's actually orange, but my camera makes it red-ish.

Yup, it's 1:30am.

Dooo doo doooo Dooo Dooooo! (think Close Encounters!)


Nice photo! Looks like a high pressure sodium streetlight to me.

I like it when it`s foggy here. The beam from my 9NT looks fantastic! Green lasers are tremendous fun too, it looks like they shine for miles and miles....

Hey Chris, did you ever take any pictures of my green laser while you had it? Do anything cool with it? Tell me you didn't just shine it on a wall across the room and then set it down.

Well, let`s see what I can find....

Would you adam-and-believe it, my usual image hosting space is completely full! Better use the Torch Reviews site while I make more room over there....

Bright little thing, shone on my shed in the middle of the day:

I`m sure there are a few more shots here too, I know I took more. Unfortunately I didn`t get a chance to check flourescence and polarisation effects in liquid as I couldn`t find a suitable clear flat bottom container, and just didn`t have the time to try and construct such a thing. And our christmas decorations are deep in the bowels of our attic, guarded by a big mean Category Two spider (I don`t like spiders!) who was winking at me when I went to check for any snow shakers. Didn`t find any....


I`ll see if I can find any more photos later. They may be in some bizarre location on my hard drive, they may be on a Zip disc, not sure. There should be one of it shining out into the night when it was raining heavy once, hope I still have that one....

Tokyo (again..)
Z-Bolt has them, and they're a heck of a lot cheaper now than when I got mine..
Still not very cheap though, compared with red laser pointers. Lots of fun though. I don't regret getting mine at all.

The green laser looks interesting. I've read a lot where it was mentioned, but these are the 1st pictures I've seen. Who sells them?? TX
