Very cool.

They had four 22-watt laser beams pointing to the sky. I am sure the aviation industry will not be too happy if we all started replicating that. Neither will the bird lovers...
Just curious, are atmospheric effects similar for visible and IR?
Also don't you love the exaggeration in the summary of the first link:
"It is now possible to capture images from the ground at visible wavelengths that are
sharper than those from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. "
and two paragraphs down:
"... gives images
comparable in sharpness to those from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope."
(bold emphasis is mine)
