Abstract: A clip-on sight that includes a sight housing, a lens, a sensor, a display, a module, and a plurality of buttons positioned on the sight housing is disclosed. The module is designed to display an alignment reticle on the display and move the alignment reticle to an electronic zoom center point in response to the buttons. The electronic zoom center point is stored in memory and serves as the center point when the clip-on sight is zoomed in from an un-zoomed (1.0×) zoom to a 2.0× zoom. A method of aligning a clip-on sight is also disclosed. To align the clip-on sight, a user activates the user menu, activates an alignment reticle on the display of the clip-on sight, sets the electronic zoom center point by moving the alignment reticle to the electronic zoom center point.
