Location of the Kepler Mission FOV on the Sky

The squares show the FOV of each of the 21 CCD modules. Each is 5 sq deg. Note that the gaps between the CCD modules are aligned so that about half of the 15 stars in the FOV brighter than mv=6 fall in these gaps.

Also, see the Guest Observer page for a CCD Pixel Calculator for the FOV
