Grid rotated to coordinate system of selected survey With the grid on the Celestial sphere, the sphere is rotated so that it matches the survey you select. This rotation takes into account the coordinate system, precession, and any other rotation you may have selected. In the case multiple surveys are selected, each survey is treated separately.
