Abstract: A device primarily intended for positioning a follow spotlight in a theatrical setting to allow a performer or an object to be "picked up" on cue, the invention is mounted on the movable light barrel of a follow spotlight and thus is moved exactly with the spot as the operator aims the beam of light. The present sighting device includes a sighting arm having sight reticles disposed at each end, the sight reticles being held on the arm by retentive couplings which allow 360.degree. rotation of the reticles about the arm. The medial portion of the sighting arm is mounted to the distal end of an L-shaped standard by a cruciform coupling which allows both rotation of the arm about the mounting locus and linear displacement of the arm relative to said coupling. The anterior end of the standard is removably attached to the follow spotlight by a preferably magnetic mount, the standard being capable of rotation about its longitudinal axis.
