EUMETCastView v2.0.6

In the list of segments for the Himawari-9 satellite a new column is visible when the center of the moon and the center of the earth are within 9°. The integer number shows the percentage of illumination of the moon at that moment. This means that there is a chance that the moon is visible in that time frame in the image. (see the program WhereIsTheMoon). The Advanced Himawari Imager constructs the image from north to south. This means that the calculated moon positions in the north are closer to the time of the image. Moon positions in the south are closer to the next 10 minutes frame.
There is also a moon overlay in the image that indicates the different positions of the moon. An exact calculated position of the moon in the image is not possible due to the fact that the scanning of the earth of the AHI imager is sometimes interrupted for other tasks of the satellite.
