The invention relates to a long-range optical device, in particular a telescopic sight 1, with at least one objective lens 2 and at least one eyepiece 3 and with an adjustable reticle 6 arranged between the objective lens 2 and the eyepiece, wherein the reticle 6 is coupled to a manually operable fast reticle adjustment, wherein a display device 14 is arranged in the field of view of the long-range optical device 1, through which a distance value set by a setting device 4, 15 of the fast reticle adjustment can be read when using the long-range optical device 1.

The technology relates to a long-range optical device for a firearm with an objective and an eyepiece, through which an observation beam path is formed for aiming at a target, the long-range optical device further comprising an opto-electronic display device, wherein the display device comprises an LCoS display for displaying variable data or a target mark, wherein a display beam path of the display device runs at least partly in the observation beam path for displaying the remote object.

An optical system (e.g., a telescope) comprising an optical assembly that reflects and refracts light rays through a single window about an optical path to a detector. A field-of-view switch assembly comprises a mount, having a pair of diverter mirrors, movably coupled to the optical assembly and being selectively movable between a non-bypass position and a bypass position. The diverter mirrors bypass a first field-of-view and translate a second field-of-view (both through the single window) when moved from the non-bypass position to the bypass position to redirect the optical path. The diverter mirrors straddle the optical path in the non-bypass position. A dynamic shutter shields the second diverter mirror and exposes the second diverter mirror when moved between non-bypass and bypass positions. A four-bar linkage mechanism rotates the mount with an on-board motor and a torsional shaft to absorb impact forces. Associated methods are provided for facilitating switching between fields-of-view.

A sighting system including a sighting axis which passes through one or more sighting elements each disposed at an angle to the sighting axis and which include coating comprising a plurality of layers which increase transmission of incident light along the sighting axis.

Various embodiments are directed to telescopic apparatus, systems and methods for daylight imaging of satellites and other objects, a platform/telescope configured for daylight imaging of satellites and other objects, as well as modifications thereto configured to perform specific functions individually and/or in conjunction with other platforms/devices (e.g., radar tracking devices).
