Abstract

An optical sighting device includes an eyepiece positioned to receive optical radiation along an optical axis to produce a real exit pupil located remote from the eyepiece. The real exit pupil is positioned at an eye relief distance from the eyepiece along the optical axis. A digital signal processor determines an axial distance from the eyepiece to an eye positioned proximate the real exit pupil along the optical axis. An aperture stop is centered along the optical axis to direct the optical radiation in a direction of the eyepiece. The eye relief distance is based at least in part on a position of the aperture stop along the optical axis. The optical sighting device further includes an eye relief actuator to translate the aperture stop along the optical axis to null a spatial offset between the eye relief distance and the axial distance to the eye.
