[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 417367, member: 9253"] A video camera acts alot like the human eye when mounted behind a riflescope. To use an unmodified riflescope, the lens of the camera needs to be at the distance of the "normal" eye relief behind the scope's eyepiece , and the camera lens needs to be equivalent in diameter and f/raio to that of the human eye. You could mount a camera beside the riflescope pointed to the rear. Right behind the eyepiece would be a beamsplitter at a 45 degee angle and a mirror mounted 45 degrees to send about 50% of the light to the camera lens and camera. The only downside is you'll loose about 25% of the eye relief since the beamspitter takes up some room. You need to shroud the light path to the camera. It would not need to be bulky. USB2.0 and firewire industrial cameras are tiny and moderately priced. . You can record video nicely with a notebook PC with minimal additional equipment. [/QUOTE]
