Image Quality Issues

The passes this morning from NOAA are all showing issues with the image quality, with an example below from the NOAA 18 pass.

This also impacted the Meteor M2 passes where it proved impossible to decode the audio to produce an image.

With no recent software updates or changes to the hardware, this is an issue which started between the last good capture, Wed 08 Jul 2020 09:12:57 and the first poor quality pass, Wed 08 Jul 2020 18:20:43.

At the moment the reason for this is unknown, however there was heavy rainfall and strong winds yesterday that may prove to be the root cause.
