Re: Mirror Camera project

I have been thinking about what Gary was saying on using the polygon first then the frame mirror and using it in reverse should show a raster .
I can't get my head around if it matters it should work visa versa ?
I have found an old example from my Octagon project so it must work in reverse if the laser is replaced with a light sensor this worked.
The uv laser hits the octagon mirror then the larger frame mirror its sort of what i am doing in reverse .
Still haven't got around to it but i'll get it out again one day and do a Flying spot camera test but i never got around to syncing the motors might get a camera picture for a second or two ...
I am wondering also looking at the old example of a camera with the frame mirror first drawing below if a lens is really needed ? I suppose you just move closer to subject but have no zoom. I do notice at how much light is lost in mine with that large lens .
