Description

From my backyard, Thor's Helmet doesn't go higher than 25 degrees of altitude. Combined with the fact that my neighbours' houses go up to 15 degrees, and one tree due south with some branches going up to 26 degrees of altitude, gathering data is taking o lot of patience. And diligently scanning all subframes for tree-residu.
However, I've loved this object so much for years now, that I couldn't resist the challenge.
I also shot some S2, but that didn't add anything in my opinion, so I left it out.
Thanks for watching everyone!
