This is what higher res looks like. Can still go higher but would need more manual processing in Photoshop and my computer is not very happy with me using 11K files at the moment lol.

Taken at 4:20pm this afternoon.

High resolution gibbous Earth from Himawari 8 at 0620UT.

Received with a 2.3 metre solid dish, Zinwell C band LNBF (LO 5150) downconverted to 1002 MHz, fed into a Novra S300 satellite IP data receiver. Himawaricast on Jcsat2B 4148 GHz horizontal. Kencast software to create HRIT files and Xrit2pic for combining and jpeg conversion of the HRIT files.

B5 channel was used for red.
B4 channel was used for green.
Visible channel was used for blue.

Luminance was then overlaid from the visible channel.

This thing has 14 channels so I'm going to have fun figuring out the combinations.
