Figure caption: Isotropy metric scores for 2 days of the 2017 EHT observation of Sgr A*. Candidate time regions for dynamical imaging are highlighted in green. A universal value of ﹩{{ \mathcal K }}_{{\rm{\max }}}\approx 0.513﹩ was used to perform the computation (see Appendix B). Dropouts can significantly change the available coverage, resulting in candidate time regions of different duration and quality. By scoring the coverage for the entire observation and directly comparing the predicted quality of candidate time regions, we can identify the best day to perform dynamical imaging. Although the candidate time regions identified on April 7 and April 10 are similar in duration, the candidate time region on April 7 presents ≈40% better coverage.
