Questions:
I was wondering if it would be possible to submit a proposal to use the MDRS-14, as I have noticed that some objects are difficult to observe with the MDRS-WF due to their size.
Are the errors appearing in the Skynet MDRS-WF status caused by my submissions?
Do you have any target recommendations for the MDRS-WF?
