445 and telescopics

[andy_con]

i built a new 445 module over the past few days and thought i would test the beam with telescopics.

not great results to be honest






apeture without telescopics -




apeture with telescopics as you can see there is a big difference -




18 metres without telescopics -



18 metres with telescopics, as you can see a big difference again -

What power lenses did you use?

umm x3

[andy_con]

been playing a bit more with some telescopics and this is the best ive managed to get

without telescopics -






with telescopics, you get about half the beam size at apeture which is great for fitting on the scanner mirrors but not amazing at distance

Great to see the results. I,m getting into telescopes and its good to learn from you Andy. Thanks for showing

learn from me, i know nothing i learn/learnt from simon

[edison]

Alright then, have it your way. Thanks simon!!!!! Thanks for posting anyway.

lol no probs

ive built myself a test rig, two diode holders and a nice big plate to put prism pair and telescopics on. i can compare two of the same diodes side by side or two different diodes at once

what a great day, ive done it!



no optics -

apeture - 5mm by 2mm

50mm @ 18 metres

prism pair only

apeture 5mm by 3mm

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x...5_001Small.jpg

20-25mm wide @ 18metres

my new optics setup which i wont be posting details of

apeture 3mm by 2mm

30mm wide @ 18 metres

diode is outputting 1000mw after optics 800mw so a big loss but...

Hahaha, i think you can stop calling Simon the only master dude.
If you really managed to get the blue to 3x2mm and only 30mm at 18m i think you can call yourself a master Andy !
Well done, i am so curious how you pulled it off man !
