(Top) The final APOGEE field targeting plan, the product of the evolving strategy described in Section 4.1.2. Fields are color-coded by their primary purpose or sought-after target class. The gray fields include both Kepler and CoRoT asteroseismology targets in the Kepler and CoRoT databases, as well as MARVELS calibration fields. (Middle) Distribution of observed APOGEE fields, color-coded by the number of approximately 1 hr visits. (Bottom) Distribution of APOGEE survey and commissioning fields, and, for the former, whether the survey observations were completed. Most commissioning observations were repeated during the main survey with the spectrograph in its survey configuration.
