  The Galactic Plane was searched for transient, monochromatic light at optical
and near-IR wavelengths to detect pulses shorter than 1 sec. An objective-prism
Schmidt telescope and CMOS camera were used to observe 973 square degrees along
the Galactic Plane within a strip 2.1 deg wide. The non-detections of laser
pulses from the Galactic Plane add to the non-detections from more than 5000
stars. The absence of extraterrestrial beacons reveals more of a SETI desert at
optical and radio wavelengths.
