Abstract
An electronic indicator on a see-through optical scope indicates whether an optical system is canted. The visual indicator may include one or more LEDs coupled to a microprocessor that is also coupled to a solid-state electronic inclinometer incorporated into the internal structure of the optical system. The microprocessor is configured to selectively illuminate the visual indicator based on the output of the inclinometer, thereby indicating how the reticle is canted, if at all.
