Hello Veronika,

I find your poster v3 in good shape and don't have any comments.

But, You may consider to introduce in your motivation on what observable 
you plan to measure.
Something like if you could include STAR HFR v2 published result's plot.
I think this part is missing in your motivation.

With this I sign off.

Cheers
Nihar
