[python #RHP-234890]: Questions About GOES Imagery

Greetings,

Be careful as the "current" directory is a rotating collection of the last ~24 
hours of imagery. If you need to access the data beyond that time frame, you 
need to use the directories with the YYYYMMDD structure, like in the link I 
sent you that worked.

If you want to be sure the dataset is still present, always use code to query 
the data you want from the catalog rather than using a fixed url.

Cheers,

Ryan
