(Mauna Kea Consortium photometric system)
(2000s system covering near infrared)

The MKO photometric system is a photometric system of near infrared passbands/filters designed for effective use of atmospheric windows given the typical altitude of modern research telescopes. MKO stands for Mauna Kea Observatories, and the group of organizations agreeing upon the standard is termed the Mauna Kea Consortium.
