How is this possible? Or does it really extend to 'infinity' and it's just a trick of perspective that makes it look like it "ends" in mid-air?

Took me a couple of times to see them all. I´ll need a bigger monitor. Everytime you come up with the most beautiful things and then a 20" is suddenly too small. Stunning!

I could watch it over and over again. I did notice that the laser light was casting a yellow glow on the adjacent telescope. It would probably wreck any deep photography going on. I presume they have some sort of protocol for when guide lasers may and may not be used? Brilliant! I could watch it over and over again.
