Montage Documentation
Updated February 9, 2017Montage has been tested by the Montage team on Linux platforms with mosaics built from the 2-Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) Atlas (full-resolution) images. It has been built, tested and the output products validated by Montage customers on Unix platforms, including Linux, Solaris, Mac OSX, and IBM AIX. It has been used to generate mosaics from data released by the Spitzer Space Telescope, the Hubble Space Telescope, the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX), the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and ground-based telescopes such as the National Optical Astronomy Observatories (NOAO) 4-m telescope and the William Herschel 4-m telescope.
