Preparing my 2025 Day of Light outreach lectures, I bought a glass sphere and made a rainbow. But I saw some odd things, and so here’s a thread with some photos and raytracing pictures. There may well be mistakes so tell me and I'll fix them. First the basic setup showing the primary bow.

Would be the coolest lab in the world 🤣
Found some lab space in El Paso!
Cheaper than a Newport optical table, and likely better damped with the large oleo struts.
Lavatories, Snack area and ample space for optical bays!
