Hi, Evan Thanks for the additional information. We are able to confirm exactly what you describe. As a work around, would it be possible to for you to choose a smaller image size (e.g. 2000 x 2000)? When I choose a smaller image size, I have no problem seeing the custom "geos_east" projection. We suspect there is some sort of boundary anomaly which we are going to have to track down.
