Bug Description

Is there any particular reason that the ecliptic, celestial equator, and meridian do not have markings for months, RA, and degrees, respectively? It would be extremely helpful if this could be added, especially month markings on the ecliptic. Thank you!

The reason is that there are already grids with dynamic rendering of the appropriate untis.

And that part about months of the ecliptic sounds suspiciously astrological to me. :) I am not aware of an ecliptic coordinate system that uses "months" as units.
