Abstract:
A device which can be temporarily mounted on a telescopic sight (S) for enhancing light coming from a target area (11), which device comprises an eye enhancer cover (1) for mounting on the ocular end of the telescopic sight for blockage of ambient light from the eye, and a shade/collector (2) for mounting on the objective end (B) of the telescopic sight, wherein said eye enhancer cover and said shade/collector are securely attached to each other by at least two elastic bands (3) which when stretched provide for ready mountability and dismountability of said eye enhancer cover and said shade/collector to said telescopic sight, and wherein the shade/collector (2) is of a frustum or barrel shape such that most of the indirect light (9) is excluded when sighting through the telescopic sight with the device mounted, providing for substantially optimum direct light (10) from the target area to the objective end (B) of the telescopic sight.
