  • Publication number: 20140152973
    Abstract: The invention describes a long-range optical device with two observation parts and a first observation beam path and a measurement beam path, in which the two observation parts are arranged essentially parallel next to each other and spaced a predefinable distance apart via at least one connection element. In a plan view of the device 1 with respect to a plane, in which the longitudinal axes of the observation parts are arranged, the sub-regions of the observation parts facing each other lie directly opposite each other over a length aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the observation parts of 20% to 90%, preferably 30% to 80% of a length of the observation parts. In addition, the observation beam path and the measurement beam path are arranged outside the sub-regions of the observation parts.

  • Patent number: 8733647
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining a replacement distance when taking aim on a target (2) with a target distance D (6) and an elevation angle ? (5) between a line of sight (4) to the target (2) and a horizontal plane (3) with a weapon (9) in order to fire projectiles with an approximately flat trajectory. The replacement distance is determined from the target distance D (6) by means of a correction function, and the correction function is determined exclusively from non-ballistic characteristic values and at least as a function of the target distance D (6) and the difference in angle between the elevation angle ? (5) and the shooting angle.

  • Publication number: 20130335626
    Abstract: The invention relates to an objective for an image recording device for reproducing an image, which is created by a far-optical device. A housing, which is detachably connectable to an eyepiece of the far-optical device, has a greater inner diameter than the exterior diameter of an eyepiece housing. Both an exit pupil of the far-optical device and an entrance pupil of the objective are situated inside the housing. The objective has at least one lens, the optical axis of which is arranged to be parallel to the optical axis of the eyepiece of the far-optical device and to the middle axis of the eyepiece housing.
