Cheers JPG - at 9Mb its well worth the wait. Thanks for the URL - it takes
me ages to get the right one on rapidfire...


Coarse tuning:

The Terra image is usually about 1030-1130, and the Aqua image
1300-1400

Fine tuning:

From the thumbnails find the W coast of Africa, the Western Sahara is
usually easy to spot, the UK image is usually two frames or so above.
more often the not the UK is to the edge of the image and highly
distorted, yesterday was quite a good one.
