I would like to draw a so called "skyplot" in PGFPlots. Skyplots display satellites with their positions over the visible sky. In addition, I would like to draw a background for some specific disturbances. Eventually it should look like this:
Creating the coordinate system and placing the satellites worked like a charm with PGFPlots' polaraxis:

This results in this diagram:
However, I cannot find a way to display the background colors. I developed an application which calculates the satellite positions and the background, this is how I created the figure. Now I would like to extend this application to generate tikz/pgf code for publication in TeX. The color data for the background is available as some kind of image, so an rectangular array of pixels with specific colors. However, as this data relies on a cartesian axis, I cannot plot it directly in the polaraxis environment.
How can I create such a colored background in PGFPlots polaraxis environment?
Thank you very much.

Output:
PS: I used a filled circle with your center, an ellipse with an appropriate color, center/rotation, some ellipses for "bluring" and cliped the image with a circle using your center and an appropriate radius.

This is a way that can be adjusted in colors and the "blur" by you:

Just as an inspiration, maybe these Q+As help: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/454970 or tex.stackexchange.com/questions/162889.

Could you show us the color data array? - First: I think we have to transform the cartesian color coordinate (of the array) into polar cordinates. Secondly: Fill background color with the specific color of the array. Maybe helpful: Creating a Polar Grid with Tikz, Polar plot fill segmented area, Tikz Polar Fill to Origin
