Free satelite images: Landsat, Sentinel browsers:
The Copernicus Open Access Hub (previously known as Sentinels Scientific Data Hub) provides complete, free and open access to Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3 and Sentinel-5P user products
Landsat, SRTM and much more data provider:
XYZ Tiles in QGIS - base maps are available
OSM CS geographical
DTM SRTM CS geographical
NO projection, only coordinate on the elipsoid! Problem!!!
QGIS is possible to change CS on-the-flight
We would like to avoid geographicala CS. In QGIS you can transform the data coordinates during export !!!!
right klick on the feature in legend-Export-Save feature as
you can:
if you clip raster you can change spatial resolution (pixel size), but take care QGIS cheats, check in feature properties and correct coordinates of map extent
Changing CS:

We are looking for the steep area with south exposure
conditions:
How we realize it?
Common area, location that meets both conditions
multiplication of both raster layers (only 1 and 1 gives satisfactory result)
0=0*0
0=0*1
0=1*0
1=1*1
