Reticle for spectroscope guiding?

Al,
What's the chances of "upgrading" your reticle program to give double cross wires with variable gap??
I'm use PHD and Craig refered me back to your program when asked the same question.....
I'll like to be able to have a cross-hair reticle in PHD which I could reposition on the capture screen to allow for the off-set between the target star and the star image on the slit; the gap between the cross wires would represent the entrance slit gap...
ie I might find after calibration of the spectroscope that the "best position" for the target star is at column 210 and the centre of the slit is at y= 93.. it would be ideal if this "calibrated" position was displayed in a reticle in PHD to allow perfect setting of the target every time.... does this make sense???
Ken
