OK tonight using the most dodgy bounce affair I took some pix of the 168 firing down the garden.
First 168 pic shows the head turned to an angle to get it across the garage to some degree than its bounced off a makeshift FS mirror (2.5inch hdd platter) stuck to my step ladder with Blu Tac. This puts the beam out the door to a tripod holding a line grating pointed down the garden. Then from the bottom of the garden (with some smoke from good old Martin fogger) you see the diffracted beams looking better on the pic than they did in real life. Note above the 168 beams on the first beam shot you can see the blue and yellow beams from the front of the house. Finally I replaced the grating for a bounce and fired a single white beam down the garden. Last pic shows the size of the spot all the way down the garden maybe 45-50 feet away from the head (compare to the size of my hand in the beam)
Finally I took a better pic of the front of the house with the RGB bouncing off the grating while doing shows.

Great Beam shots of the 168 there Rob. How is the beastie doing? Is it still looking a bit poorly or is giving it some running time helping?

The grating bouncing on the front of the house would look even better attached to a slow rotating motor. Don't ask my how to go about this, just saying.

Carl
indeed a rotaing one would be mega but the grating was set up in a hurry. Next year it will be rotating and with a bit o luck have a lumina wheel as well
168 need running more basically and I doubt sitting in a cold garage helps

Much better in my opinion!

Much better in my opinion!

I cant think why you think this is *much* better. A complete show choreographed to music using thousands of individually lamps set up all over the house and surrounding trees and garden area. Better than a couple of beams randomly fired at a difraction grating that took 90 seconds to mount. I am frankly amazed at your opinion!

Although the choreographed show may have taken longer to set up, there's no lasers.
How could they make such an elementary mistake?

Mebbe next year it will be up to Rob's standards.
