Ken,

The Unidata/Wisconsin IDD data stream carries the GOES Water Vapor 
imagery at 8km resolution, which is the full resolution of that instrument.
Water vapor imagery is the 6.7 micron channel.

All of the Unidata/Wisconsin IDD data is archived at Wisconsin, and can
be retrieved via ftp. Information on requesting data from this archive
can be found at:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/unirec.html

Once the operator at SSEC posts the data for the time period you request,
you can login and retrieve the data with:
login: XXXXXX
password: XXXXXX

Note that this site also provides access to a nearterm recovery 
for current data as well- up to the past 30 days.
