Look up reticle (version 2) in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
An astronomical instrument used to measure star positions. A reticle consists of sets of parallel and perpendicular lines, either in the form of thread or wire or in the form of markings etched in glass. The result is a square grid which may be accurately used to locate and plot the relative positions of objects viewed through the grid.
