Default MSG from Bernard Burton

Many thanks Bernard for these excellent images. They are much
appreciated. I am amazed at the resolution from the newest Meteosat.

I know that details of equipment, software, are on your website, but
any ideas what it might cost to set up the equipment myself? I have a
couple of "old" computers which I gather would be adequate so I am
really interested in receiver, tracker, costs of software, etc. I
realise you cannot be precise but a ball-park figure would be useful.

What of course I would want to be able to do is to get that sort of
quality of satpic on a more regular basis, say every 30 minutes, for my
gliding activities. It would be especially useful when I am preparing
forecasts at gliding competitions.
