Indian vedic sky culture divides the sky into 27 strips (full list, with western equivalents here: https://goo.gl/2PVi28 ), each approximately 360/27 ~ 13 degrees. This division is critical for several purposes including timing rituals and determining the birth lunar mansion or nakShatra. As it is, users are forced to enable the equitorial grid and then imagine parallel grid lines running through asterisms in the set set of 27. Example pic: https://goo.gl/photos/xtzawchDK4sfQVUE6c . This is clumsy and inaccurate. So, the vedic indian sky culture should show the required 27 grid lines by default.
