Description

I only had a few hours before the fog rolled in, so managed to only get 16-17 subs on each channel. Even still, I was surprised how much detail came out. Definitely have to go back and grab more - a faint tidal arm is just visible above the Hockey Stick, and I'm sure more exposure will really help.
