This image showing the
propagation of the Gemini
South laser guide star system
is dedicated to the memory of
Vincent Fesquet. Vincent
worked tirelessly to make the
Gemini South laser guide star
system work efficiently and
reliably. This image shows the
laser propagating for the first
time since Vincent’s passing.
