How do I change the color of my full disk image to look like the one from https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov ? Both are 5424 x 5424. I find the color could be better. image

Would it require a larger dish to capture channel 1?

eminence commented 5 years ago

In theory, yes. I believe that all ABI channels are available on the GOES rebroadcast downlink (GRB), but 1) you need a ~3m dish, and 2) different software. The goestools software only does HRIT decoding.

I found some additional information here: https://www.teske.net.br/lucas/2017/10/goes-grb-first-light/

That's right. The GeoColor composite requires channels 1, 2, and 13. On HRIT we only have 2 and 13.
