Abstract:	The MOA Project is a collaboration of Japanese and New Zealand (NZ) astronomers and physicists undertaking a survey of stellar variability in the direction of the Galactic bulge and Magellanic Clouds. The primary motivation of the project is detection and monitoring of gravitational microlensing events although a large amount of data is also collected on stellar variability. Surveying the number of stars required to detect gravitational microlensing events is an operation of some magnitude and requires sophisticated data processing software.
