1. A camera for producing an infrared image of a target having a target plane, comprising: a first infrared imager for receiving infrared energy from the target, said imager including a first plurality of sensors; an electronics module in communication with said first infrared imager for processing the output of the sensors including storing, annotating, analyzing or transferring at least a portion of an image received by the camera image or any computations about the image to an external device; a display in communication with said electronics module for providing an image display of the target; an indication on said display noting a specific point of interest on the target; and a targeting aid comprising: a first visible light source; a first shaping optic in communication with said first light source producing a first shaped light beam that when projected on the target plane has an axis that extends through said point of interest on the target; a second visible light source; a second shaping optic in communication with said second light source producing a second shaped light beam that when projected on the target plane has an axis that extends through said point of interest on the target, and is at a sufficient angle in the projected target plane to the projection of the first shaped light beam to allow said first and second beams to be discerned from one another; wherein shaped light beams intersect in the target plane at said point of interest on the target, regardless of the distance between the camera and the target; whereby said point of interest indicated on said display and the specific point of interest is identifiable to the camera operator by viewing either said display or the visible projected light beam intersection of said first and second beams on the target.
