I use the Eumetsat FCI (Flexible Combined Imager) full disc images on board of geostationary satellite MTG centered at 0 degree longitude. A single image (distributed as netcdf file) is pretty large in fact much larger than my screen resolution. If you are interested, the Julia code for downloading and creating the PNG image is here:

While doing that, I learned that it is not so trivial to produce a true colour RGB image from these FCI [1]. I think there is also a WMS server for rendered images but I don't have the link on my phone.
