I always wondered about the "filled in" (interpolated) plot. To my
observation, the orbital tracks of the satellites do not wander anywhere
near +/- 22.5 degrees. It is unclear to me that interpolating the data
to areas of the sky where satellites never appear has any utility.
I suppose it makes trends somewhat easier to spot -- but that could also
be done just by making the dots on the raw chart a bit larger, without
suggesting a continuity of reception-space that doesn't exist.
Or am I missing something?
