I got bored this evening, so i grabbed my ThinkGeek green laser pointer, my digicam, and took some pictures of an old lead crystal suncatcher prism

cool that 5th one looks like it's exploding. I think it helps that I have DSOTM on DVDA blasting at -10 right now! man I need an SPL meter.

WOW!! I LOVE green!! THAT is awesome!! Pretty cool too!

Now if you really wanted to make it cool, lighten the black just a bit and superimpose a knife picture. Something like the Ocelot, Tasman, or Gunting. It would be very Simona-ish. Pictures #2,4,5, and 7 would be good candidates.

Very Cool Stuff.. Thanks for sharing.... Oh how I want a green laser...I love that you can use them as a pointer in the sky

[MacTech]

Yes, you can use them for skypointing, but you have to be *very* careful, green laser pointers are about 50 times brighter than red laser pointers, the 532 nm green light emitted from the common green laser pointer is near the optimal human vision range, any power levels above <5 mW *can* cause damage to eyes, even a <5mW can cause temporary damage from specular reflections off highly reflective surfaces, i accidentally dinged myself in the eyes with a specular reflection off a glass window with my <5mw, and it took *three days* for the afterimage to completely fade

.....according to the paperwork with my laser, it's *only* 3 mW, i think they erred when measuring it, as the beam is faintly visible even in a dark room illuminated by my PowerBook screen, it's gotta' be on the high end of 5 mW

anyway, my point is this, if you're going to use it for skypointing, be *very* careful, yes the beam itself can be seen outside, and it's great to be able to point at stars with a pencil thin beam of green light, but don't go pointing it at aircraft, unless you want a free vacation at Club Fed, "tagging" aircraft with lasers (laser pointer or otherwise) is a felony offense and the authorities *will* prosecute to the fullest extent of the law

just be careful, greenies require more caution in their use than reds
