Caption: Figure 4.

Distribution of sky coordinates from the nominal request set described in Section 4.1. Marker colors are the same as in Figure 5. The shading shows the number of unique B semester nights a target is observable as a function of R.A. and decl. The dark cap below decl. −50° consists of southern targets that never clear the minimum elevation requirements, the dark region near the north celestial pole circumpolar stars is often obstructed by the Keck I Nasymth platform, the wave-shaped band is due to the Moon, and the dark vertical band at ∼240° corresponds to R.A.s that are antialigned with the B semester.
