Error when trying to make RGB images from full-res data

[manresa]

I have successfully used goes2go to create true-color images from reduced resolution products (MCMIPF) but when I try to create natural color or true color images from the full-res L1b radiance products (ABI-L1b-RadF) I get the following error repeated indefinitely (after the data have downloaded):

RuntimeError:

        This probably means that you are not using fork to start your
        child processes and you have forgotten to use the proper idiom
        in the main module:

            if __name__ == '__main__':
                freeze_support()
                ...

        The "freeze_support()" line can be omitted if the program
        is not going to be frozen to produce an executable.

        To fix this issue, refer to the "Safe importing of main module"
        section in https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html

Based on this one line of code that I see: G = GOES(satellite=18, product="ABI-L1b-RadF", domain="C").nearesttime("2025-10-26 18:00")

you are trying to grab CONUS data (domain), but trying to grab the Full Disk (product="") ending in "F". If you drop the F from that product name, does it work then? OR if you wanted the Full Disk, can you change the domain to F and see what happens?
