Highlights of Jeff Medkef's Review of MPO Software
Sky and Telescope, October 2001
About the Documentation
"I have rarely seen a more thorough discussion of software's capabilities, or
a better thought-out tutorial for running through a package's features. The documentation
was prepared with care and attention and is one of the best features of the
software."
About the Scripting Feature in Connections
"It is the most advanced processing engine of its type that I have ever seen
... and unlike some programs in the field, a single error does not bring the whole
observing run to a screeching halt."
About the MPO Suite of Programs
"This is definitely the software to get if you have been wanting to start
observing asteroids and want to get all your capability in a single package with clear
instructions. It's "vertical application" features are superior to
general-purpose programs that provide similar astrometric and photometric functions,
simply because of its tight customization and concentration on asteroids. On the whole,
this veteran package used by many asteroid observers is still a winner."
