Re: Gobo with a Stars Pattern
the last show I did the director was determined we could only buy things from rosco so that was where my last gobo order went. I actually just ordered gel through lee for the first time a couple weeks ago and was surprised at just how much thicker it was than rosco's gel. I believe it was the lee equivalent of bastard amber, and it was just a much heavier thicker piece of gel.

Re: Gobo with a Stars Pattern
PERFECT I'll look for a dealer to orderMy iPhone app tells me that a 20x24 full sheet will yield nine (9) cuts of 6.25x6.25 for a Source Four 26°.
Color media, and a stock or custom gobo manufactured by Rosco, Lee, GAM, or Apollo, may be purchased from Dealers for Supplies and Equipment - ControlBooth . You may obtain a swatchbook from the same sources.
Is something like this what you had in mind?
Super Stars MS-2553
If you're looking for something a little/a lot more realistic, projecting a gobo may not be the best way. See also http://www.controlbooth.com/forums/special-effects/4570-star-curtains.html and http://www.controlbooth.com/forums/special-effects/14789-another-star-curtain-question.html .

L002 or L162? A stupid little reason, as a lighting hand, I prefer LEE Filters to Roscolux--Lee is easier to stuff into the colorframe. In my experience the thickness of the filter is zero indication of how long it will last or how well it will hold up to heat. I believe it has more to do with the manufacturing process: body-dyed (Lux, GAMcolor) vs. surface-coated (Lee, ApolloGel). It used to be that some Roscolux colors were thicker/thinner than others, but I haven't noticed this variance lately.
Re: Gobo with a Stars Pattern
my swatches are in the shop at school, off the top of my head I think it was L002 but I don't have an actual memory of ordering it. I don't have any comparisons for longevity yet, but it was a noticeably thicker sheet, I had to double check to make sure they hadn't sent me cyc gel or some other specialty number.
Edit: it became a thing so I had to look up the order online and I remember what it was now. I bought R02 and the gel thicker gel was L202 half C.T. Blue. Now I remember what was going on haha.

Re: Gobo with a Stars Pattern
That is true. I know when Lene was discontinued a couple theaters in my old town stocked up on as many sheets of 8--something or other (866 perhaps?). Anyhow, they ended up ordering the entire stock that Rosco had at the time of that particular color in hopes that the one designer in town would use it all before he died (he used it a LOT).
