The red areas indicated the outcome of rotating the dipole illumination from its original target configuration (blue). Consequently, more of the illumination deviates further from the ideal point sources (black dots). In fact, the portions of the red areas outside the blue areas cannot contribute to imaging the horizontal line pattern but only degrade it by adding background intensity, so that the minimum intensity is a larger fraction of the maximum intensity.
