💀 BUGS 💀

okay so this is the part where we have to be honest with each other 😭

This module have been used extensively but have not been subject to the same rigorous testing to which the core modules have been subjected.

so like... she's been out there. she's got experience. but the core modules got the full rigorous testing treatment and she did not, and that's just the situation.

We advise users to contact Montage (montage@ipac.caltech.edu) before employing them to verify limitations in their use and changes in the interfaces.

fr fr, email them first. don't just raw-dog this one. the interfaces might have moved, the limitations might be real, and you do NOT want to find that out the hard way 🙈
