Modifying the MPC observatory code list
---------------------------------------

To allow for Minor Planet Center observatory code use, this module
uses a data file containing the MPC observatory code, longitude, and
parallax coefficients for a large number of observatories. This data
file resides in tmpl/MPC.dat and a new version can be
obtained from http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/lists/ObsCodes.html.
To use an updated version, copy the information from that page (only the data,
not any of the headers) into tmpl/MPC.dat, then build
this module again. This will automatically create Telescope/MPC.pm,
which can then be installed as part of this module.
