In case you haven’t gathered, Mini-SiTian is a demonstrator/pathfinder for the follow-on SiTian sky survey network. Mini-SiTian is an array of three 300mm telescopes, currently sweeping the skies over a Chinese university. As of now, three bands are covered (g, r, and i).
Unfortunately, none of these papers are open access- maybe you have institutional access. In any case, the titles and abstracts should demonstrate that SiTian is intended to be serious- a network of perhaps dozens of telescopes, at multiple sites in China and possibly neighboring countries, including a few larger-aperture, spectroscopic telescopes for characterization.
