Coverage of the northern and southern ecliptic polar caps (left and right panels, respectively), with the design of polar caps drawn in red and patches drawn in blue. Extra patches below 79° are also added to polar caps (two in the north and one in the south) to observe corners of the RoI that would be difficult to observe with the regular wide strategy. The presence of the Galactic plane affects both caps. In addition, the southern boundary avoids the LMC. Blinding stars are also shown; in particular, the small gap in the southern cap is due to the presence of the extremely bright star R-Doradus.
