I don't have enough information to determine if the image is corrupt,
or if it is simply dark, but it would be likely that if the image
was corrupt, there would be some warnings or errors from IMGDISP.

Questions:

- what was the IMGDISP output when you ran the command above?

- did you try displaying images for other times of the day?

Perhaps IMGLIST would help shed some light on the situation. Please
send the output of:

IMGLIST G13/VIS27APR11 DAY=11117 TIME=1902 2045 FORM=ALL

Finally, it would be most useful if you could send one or two of the
images that result in blank IMGDISP displays.

re:
> Thanks!

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
