I tend to aim low because of miscuts or different sizes... and because I KNEW you could get six, and didn't feel like doing the math any closer than that hehe.
Rosco will do the gobo and the gel, it's easiest to find a dealer off the list Derek linked. I most recently ordered both through norcostco and had no complaints.
Rosco US : Gobos just search for stars here and you can see what they've got for premade stuff
and while I prefer to actually have a swatch book so that I can look through the gel held up to light, you can go here to see the rosco colors.
Rosco US : Filters : Roscolux
that being said, Derek listed a handfull of companies and you should just troll through their sites until you find a gobo you like, and are happy.
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.
Was it maybe High Heat Gel that's why it was thickermy 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.

Rosco had a line for years named Roscolene with numbers in the 800s. Lene was much thicker than Lux but cheaper. Colors were the same but I learned the Lene numbers first so now I struggle with Lux numbers.
