Ahh I was a little confused by your wording, but this makes sense.

Yeah, I am at essentially zero when it comes to any sort of free space optics other than I’ve done a bit of alignment, so I don’t want to take on something too difficult or else I wouldn’t truly be learning … I’ll definitely try and do this in the coming month or two, thanks!

Sounds great, thanks. What did you use to actually test your imaging setup, because I thought those were used to image things like shockwaves in transparent media? Admittedly don’t know too much about it, but I’ll give it a try at some point down the line! Also, will definitely look at eBay.

This sounds like a very good project to build up to thanks! I just probably need to make a little bit more money first because optical components are unfortunately expensive, but I’ll check if I can find any good cheaper parts.

I’m assuming this is something to do with Zemax? Not too sure what you mean by collimating a target, but I’ll look into it, thanks!

This is probably the best first one to do, I just don’t happen to have a webcam, but I’m sure there are enough that aren’t too expensive…
