This is my second try at powering up with a super-macro view of the diode chip. It was at about 100mA input current on a damaged diode (ie does not lase properly). Camera sensors are extremely sensitive to this wavelength so it effectively "blinded" the sensor when it was powered, especially since the sensor was set for low light (ISO 1600). Anyway, still looks cool :)

This is awesome! Thanks rkcstr.
For all the people who would even THINK about looking into a laser, this answers the question of what it would look like. So no need to try it.
Great job!
