Boresighting a Laser Rangefinder with Thermal/Daylight Cameras: Methods & Tools

Ever hit the rangefinder trigger only to get zero readings or a wildly off-target return? When invisible 1535nm pulses drift away from your thermal or daylight crosshairs, even high-end EO/IR payloads fail. This engineering guide breaks down the core methods of boresighting laser rangefinders with thermal and visual channels—covering coaxial alignment, parallax correction, off-axis collimators, and field verification routines to keep your targeting spot locked dead center.
