I considered this, but I didn't want the tips closest to the camera to show
and I wanted to make sure it was obvious where the lasers came from. So
since it was always hard to tell exactly how long they erally should have
been, I took some creative liscence and concentrated more on the laser media
itself.

The main lights source is coming from far away in front, somewhat below them
and off a bit to the right.
I have a couple of weaker lights to try and even out the lighting (since a
real star would give off more light then at just one point). I guess I
dodn't do as good of a job there. Maybe I can try again with an area light
that covers a large area?
