SonarTRX screenshot of image collected by Humminbird sidescan sonar

Detailed Description

Screen grab of image collected by jetyak’s Humminbird sidescan sonar and displayed in SonarTRX software. Image shows boulders more than 2 meters (6 feet) across on the bottom of Hamburg Cove in the Connecticut River estuary, Connecticut, and a school of bait fish in the water column. The range displayed (vertical axis) is about 20 meters [65 feet], and the scales are the same in both vertical and horizontal directions, but the image has not been corrected for the “slant-range” distortions inherent in sidescan-sonar data (variations in scale from one side of the image to the other; see “Radar Image Distortions”).
