Hmm... the Band: 3 line above

Band: 3    No Information Available                  2.00  1.91   225 x 300

makes me suspicious that the SATBAND file that has new Himawari data is
not being used or the satellite ID in the image is wrong.

re:
> Was there something missing here?

Perhaps, but I am not sure.  Another user has been using the Unidata
McIDAS-X v2015 release with Himawari imagery successfully, so your
report is new and unexpected.

Can you make the image you are experimenting with available?  Since its
size is only 225x300, it is likely small enough to be sent as an email
attachment.  If it is big and the indicated size is wrong, it would
point to a much deeper problem somewhere.

Question:

- where did you get this image?

Cheers,

Tom
