Here is a real-time full color view of the Earth from the Himawari satellite, updated every half hour or so. This geostationary weather satellite is stationed over the longitude of Japan. The view is complete with orange sunglint off the ocean. You can click on the link to see the latest update.

We can look around for the full resolution real-time data archive that would be about 11000 pixels wide. -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

Once the HD fully loaded it was amazing. I agree the Butterworth interpolator performed much better. I assume you plan to use this on Jupiter/Saturn pics? Can't wait for Juno pics to start coming down!
