That laser was tuned to 589nm, the sodium D line. I remember reading about it like a year ago, but I don't feel like digging it up right now. It was used for some sort of atmospheric testing or something.

A dye laser used at the Starfire Optical Range for LIDAR and laser guide star experiments is tuned to the sodium D line and used to excite sodium atoms in the upper atmosphere

First off, the beam is pulsed so you get very high peak powers, second, that picture is very long exposure at night. Look at the moving stars in the sky.

I thought it was maybe just stars that were visible during the day ;D

That's a good point, it must have taken a VERY long time considering how far the stars have moved. :eek:
