I am processing a Hawkeye image from L1A to L1B in SeaDAS 8.3.9 for Ventura using OCSSW tools.

First, I process the GEO file: Without any apparent errors:
geolocate_hawkeye 0.772 (Nov 28 2022 12:23:08)
roll_offset=1.06
time_offset=-3.39
Dimension Name: number_of_scans Dimension Size: 6000
Dimension Name: number_of_pixels Dimension Size: 1800
Dimension Name: quaternion_elements Dimension Size: 4
Dimension Name: vector_elements Dimension Size: 3
sname: scan_time
double scan_time(number_of_scans) ; 0 number_of_scans 6000
[...etc.]
sname: quality_flag
ubyte quality_flag(number_of_scans, number_of_pixels) ; 0 number_of_scans 6000
ubyte quality_flag(number_of_scans, number_of_pixels) ; 1 number_of_pixels 1800

GEO file appears to check out: Then I process to L1B: Without apparent errors:

But the L1B file is unusable for further processing because the Lat/Lon are all = -32767:

For hawkeye you need to give the geo file also. This command should do the trick:
don

Well, that wasn't very bright. That was the whole reason I'd built the GEO, and then I didn't use it . L1B looks fine now. Thank you.

This bring me to the next hurdle. (Not clear if it is geolocation related, so forgive me overworking the thread.)

Regardless if I press on to L2 using my L1B or I use an L2 from Level 2 browser, mapgen fails on l2bin.
Yields:

Where mapgen_tmp.l2bin.nc is corrupt.
