+<longdescription lang="en">
+ 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.
