Reticulum Constellation

Reticulum (Latin: reticle), is one of the minor southern constellations. It was
introduced by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille to commemorate the reticle, which was a
scientific instrument used to measure star positions.
Since it was introduced in the 18th century, there is no earlier mythology associated with it.
