Hi Don,

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.  Too many things going
on at the moment...

I think this would be good. It would also push the sharp boundary in
the water vapor composite into the Rockies where it might not be so
noticeable. There is a bit of a calibration difference between
east/west on the water vapor.

I implemented a change in the GOES-East/West compositing being done
on motherlode yesterday evening.  The short (10 image) sets of
East/West composites should now show the results -- no divot missing
on the southern portion of the composite.  Please take a hard look
at these and let me know if you see anything amiss (they look OK
to me, but...).  If they look good to you, I will implement saving
of the composites in sets of the same size as the other Unidata-Wisconsin
images (e.g., 96 "current" images, and 45 days of all images).

Cheers,

Tom
