Some quartz phosphoresce nicely, I wonder if a window of finely ground/frosted quartz would do the trick. Plan-B; a finely frosted window impregntated with a phosphorescent dye. Sorry if this has already been suggested, I skimmed the thread. Back when I was doing photochemistry with UV lasers (mostly 280nm stuff) we had quite a few fluorescent and phosphorescent targets we used. -John -------------------- -John ================================================ Homebuilt scopes from 4.25-16.5" Meade LXD75-N6/SN6/SC8, DSX-90, ETX-60BB, ETX-125PE, DS-2130 Orion StarBlast, BinoViewers, Coronado PST Rebel XT/XTi, DSI Pro (I, II, & III), DSI, LPI, Electronic Eyepiece, Phillips SPC900NC Tasco 60mm Refractors Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on 12/31/69 07:00 PM Re: It works! - CaK fluorescent eyepeice.. specscope   07/05/06 03:19 AM Re: It works! - CaK fluorescent eyepeice.. nytecam   07/06/06 03:09 AM Re: It works! - CaK fluorescent eyepeice.. specscope   07/07/06 05:45 AM Re: It works! - CaK fluorescent eyepeice.. bill-in-forres   04/29/06 07:06 AM Re: It works! - CaK fluorescent eyepeice..
