Provisional pointing of PLATO’s northern (NPF) and southern (SPF) long-duration phase fields in an all-sky Aitoff projection using Galactic coordinates (an updated version is available in Nascimbeni et al. 2022). The centers of the NPF and SPF are covered by 24 cameras (light blue). Increasingly darker blue tones refer to a coverage by 18, 12, and 6 cameras, respectively. Provisional step-and-stare field pointings (STEP01 – STEP10) use dark blue tones for an overlap of 24 cameras and lighter blue tones for 18, 12, and 6 cameras, respectively. The fields of CoRoT (pink), Kepler (red), K2 (green), and the TESS continuous viewing zone (yellow) are also shown.
