Hi @dbaston,

@julioContrerasH and I have been working on a tutorial titled "GeoTIFF Byte-Level Implementation and Explanation". Our goal is to provide a better intuition of how GeoTIFF works internally, and then validate with GDAL via gdalinfo. As part of it, we’ve implemented the F.3.4 Spherical Moon Example from the GeoTIFF specification from scratch on many programming languages.

We’ve noticed some issues in our current diagrams, e.g. overviews and bitmasks in GDAL reference TIFFTAG_SUBIFD rather than the main IFD, but we plan to correct those soon.

We're considering publishing the tutorial on Medium, but if there's an opportunity to contribute it directly to the GDAL documentation, we'd be very happy to collaborate on that with a PR.

Current repo: https://github.com/andesdatacube/geotiff/tree/main
