Figure 2.15: Distribution of the scan-orientation angle ψ for stars as a function of
ecliptic latitude. The black circles show the areas that can’t be reached. The highest
concentrations are in red, medium green and lowest in blue. The peaks at 90◦ and
270◦ are due to observations in the Sun-pointing mode, where ξH = 0◦ .
