Post by: John on Feb 12, 2023, 08:19 PM
Hi Everyone

I thought to add a couple of my first attempt at capturing images from the weather satellites.
I will be adding some of the antenna in the home brew section very soon.

Brilliant John, what's it like to be clever? :P  :)
Seriously though, I'm amazed you get such good images after only a few weeks since the start of your satellite image downloads.

Amazing John. Very professional.

My first attempts were rubbish, and I never did work out how to colourise and overlay them :(

I gave up too easily, but I might come back to this one day - with a proper antenna!

It was fun and your picture is still good , the colourise is in the record options when processing . When you do try again let me know and I will help .

I expect you have told me before but what software do you use?

I really need to experiment with this, if only to confuse my brain even more! ;D  ;)

Well done again John, you have been nominated to be our resident Weather Man. ;D

I can clearly see why it's very dull out there, any chance of a clear view without all those pesky clouds & bright colours on the precipitation map. :)
