Hello!

I'm proposing the addition of Constraints to the time_dependent plots, specifically plot_airmass. Currently, my changes add a thick black line where the telescope constraints are not satisfied (i.e. the object is not observable when it's marked black).

The figure above shows an example image with my custom Constraint class called KeckVisibility which takes into account the various telescope pointing constraints at Keck I and Keck II.

I've not made any changes to the other plots yet as they're plotted somewhat differently but am happy to take suggestions for those as well.

Regards,
Sunil

Rather than including asserts in the function here, a more common approach is to extract the elements of the list that meet the validation criteria, without raising an error.
