I made an unilluminted one from a 12mm eyepiece, glued fine hair (human) as cross hairs on the inside stop of the eyepiece. I do need to use a 2x Barlows to get the shadow of the hair without any illumination, but it works.

Thanks Rod, I don't have an illuminated reticule eyepiece but your home made one eems like a good idea. I have aspare 10mm eyepiece, so I might try that. Happy viewing....
