Caption: Figure 4.

Spatial distribution of target stars and detected planets from 2-minute cadence data. The colors of stars and planets are the same as shown in Figure 3. The southern hemisphere, and to a lesser extent the northern hemisphere, has a pronounced feature of the Galactic plane running through where priorities are down-weighted because the high stellar density will dilute transit signals, making them harder to detect.
