Pretty darned funny! A good illustration of the reflectivity (?) of the mirror, though.

My Fluke temperature probe gave up and displayed "---" at one point, which means that the sample source exceeded 999 degrees F. biggrin

This really is awesome... I know you went to a lot of effort to produce the 109FX plans - I don't know how many takers you had, but there MUST be a market for this thing - there's nothing out there like it.

I didn't have enough takers for the 109F/X plans - that's why I released them for free. I suspect it was just too complex a project for the average DIYer despite my best efforts.

I won't be releasing any plans for the collimated display until the patent issue is resolved.
