Hi Chris,

No worries.

I hear you! :-)

re:

I'll be here in case you need some advice/help...

Are you referring to Ryan May's ldm-alchemy Python script?  If yes,
we are running this here with no need to do anything else.

Aside: Ryan pushed a new update to ldm-alchemy up to GitHub yesterday.

re:

I believe that restitch.py does all of the work that is needed.  Again,
we and at least one other site (College of DuPage) are running Ryan's
restitch procedure successfully, and I am serving the data via ADDE
using the new servers I wrote and put in the v2017/v2017a Unidata
release.

I am sure that Ryan can help you out.  Please send a support email to:

I would really like to understand why you are unable to use Ryan's
restitch.py script directly!

re:
> Looking forward to getting this working!

Fred sent in a nice note about the imagery that is being posted on the
ERAU web site.  I asked Fred what I will now ask you:

- are you willing/wanting to publicize your website so that all can
  benefit?

Cheers,

Tom
