1. A viewing optic comprising:
a main tube, an objective system coupled to a first end of the main tube and an ocular system coupled to a second end of the main tube; an erector system that inverts the target image and disposed between the objective system and the ocular system; the objective system, the erector system and the ocular system configured to generate an image of an outward scene along a viewing optical axis; a first focal plane located between the objective system and the erector system; a first bean combiner located between the objective system and the first focal plane; a first active display configured to generate a first image, wherein the first image is substantially parallel to the viewing optical axis, and a second active display configured to generate a second image, wherein the second image is substantially perpendicular to the viewing optical axis, and further wherein the first image or the second image is directed to a first beam combiner for simultaneous overlaid viewing with the image of the outward scene in a first focal plane of the viewing optic.
