Abstract
A target dot sight includes a target illumination sensor that senses the amount of illumination at a target, rather than merely sensing the ambient sight of the entire operating environment. Then, based on the sensed target illumination, the target dot sight may automatically compensate for the brightness of the target.

(canceled)
A target sight, comprising:
- a body;
- a light generating device housed within the body and structured to generate a lighted dot or pattern;
- a light sensor supported by the body and configured to sense illumination from a target;
- and
- a brightness controller coupled to the light sensor and configured to automatically adjust the light generating device based at least in part on the illumination sensed by the light sensor.
