asymptote polarplot plotting hyperbola

I would like to plot a hyperbola using the polarplot command, such as the following:

polarplot(3/(1-1.5*sin(theta)), coordinateview = [0 .. 10, 0 .. 2*Pi])

But the graph includes the asymptotes, which I would not like to be included. I have tried the discont=true command, but it completely changes the shape of the graph and no longer looks like a hyperbola:

polarplot(3/(1-1.5*sin(theta)), coordinateview = [0 .. 10, 0 .. 2*Pi], discont = true)

 How would I get the hyperbola above to display with no asymptotes?

Thanks
