I meant to ask this ages ago but got distracted. There's another laser beam in the picture - where's that from? Keck 2? It's the beam at the left through the open shutter.

I suppose it could be from Subaru and less likely Gemini.

The beam is from Subaru. Actually there were three lasers on-sky. Don got an image with Subaru, Gemini and Keck 1 propagating.
