This caught my eye the other day, another use for a Red Dot sight. Aircraft photography, use the red dot to track the aircraft and keep both eyes open. Ideal for air shows.
I'll give it a try next summer as the Royal Air Force "Red Arrows" aerobatic team is based just down the road from me.
It’s not my idea that belongs to a guy called Ed Sargent.

I use one as the primary aiming device for a Dobsonian reflector telescope.... before trying to find the object in the sighting scope....

I remember reading about a guy that did that with one of those $10 Daisy red dot sights. He added a resistor to reduce the brilliance of the dot so it wouldn't overpower the dim objects behind it. |
