This script uses bands 1, 2, and 3 to generate a true color image. Band 13 is used for the areas not currently lit by the sun. Band 13 is converted to grey scale and then blended with the true color image using a "lighten" blend mode which takes the brightest RGB value for each pixel.
These scripts power the GOES-16 display on https://play.opensciencedatacloud.org
