Conclusion • Min irradiance change to 0 eliminates hyperbolic shaped anomaly in original NCC EDR • The triangular area is still missing, and was not fixed by this change • change appears to be due to some flaw in logic at the granule level • where there is a mix of Solar Zenith Angle (SlZA) both > 105 deg and < 105deg it does not compute for those pixels > 105 deg SlZA , even there is sufficient lunar radiance to produce an NCC image. • However, if the entire granule is > 105 deg SlZA, and there is sufficient lunar illumination, it works fine. • Is there a shortcut here applying granule level logic to bypass some pixel level tests?
