Approach
Experimenting with partly transparent 2D faces. The target aquisition guide features magnifying optics that get more powerful from the perimeter to the center. To give some depth to the starfield, I added a cube with snow material. The ?snow? gets randomly coloured. I got inspired to do this by the BBC TV production of the HHG. Aliens discovered a planet and are about to land on it.

;) i hope is not a wepon oroginal idea so simple and interisting
super
These layered maginfying reticules is a good idea, I just don't think you have managed to find quite the right environment for them yet. I recall the luna scene from inside the spherical spaceship, that was almost there too - I don't know what the answer is yet, but I think you are getting there. I am pondering wheather the starsfields lack enough contextual clues to make the magnifing effect stand out, maybe when we get down to the planets surface... I think I prefer circular lens/reticule arrangement, this display seems a bit too familiar to be of alien origin. I shall await developments.
