| Montage is a toolkit for assembling astronomical images into custom mosaics. |
| It uses algorithms that preserve the calibration and positional (astrometric) |
| fidelity of the input images to deliver mosaics that meet user-specified |
| parameters of projection, coordinates, and spatial scale. It supports all |
| projections and coordinate systems in use in astronomy. |
| It contains independent modules for analyzing the geometry of images on the |
| sky, and for creating and managing mosaics; these modules are powerful tools |
| in their own right and have applicability outside mosaic production, in areas |
| such as data validation. |
