Authors note: This is a rewrite of the original blog post I wrote in 2020, and there have been a lot of changes since then. And I have had A LOT of conversations on forums, emails, and groups about satellite reception. I have given talks and presentations to Universities, NOAA, HAM Radio Clubs, Meteorological groups, … Delve Deeper “What will the neighbors think?” »
Spectral Imagery and False Colorization of Geostationary Satellite Data Updated June 9th 2024 Geostationary satellites like GOES, Himawari, Meteosat, FENGYUN, and Elektro primarily acquire imagery in various infrared (IR) bands along the electromagnetic spectrum. While some possess limited visible band capabilities (typically blue and red), these are often desaturated and not used for generating true-color … Delve Deeper “False Color Imagery” »

One of the fun parts of receiving satellite imagery is what you can do with the post-processing of the images. Map projections are mathematical models that allow us to represent a three-dimensional surface of the Earth on a two-dimensional map. There are many types of map projections, and each has its own set of advantages … Delve Deeper “Satellite imagery reprojection method” »
NEW Dish Pointer for Geostationary Satellites. I created a Satellite Dish Pointer page over the weekend, added in all 539 current geostationary satellites, and added a map to find your location and then automatically calculate the Longitude, Azimuth,(true north), Azimuth (magnetic north), Elevation, and Skew angles for both 0° and 90° degree style dishes. Magnetic Declination tables … Delve Deeper “Online Dish Pointer” »
