All Starlight scopes need some
light to amplify. This means that if you were in
complete darkness you could not see. Due to this
we have a built in infra-red illuminator (IRI)
on all of our scopes. Basically what an IRI does
is throw out a beam of infra-red light that is
near invisible to the naked eye but your NVD can
see it. This allows you to use your scope even
in total darkness. The IRI works like a
flashlight and the distance you can see with it
will be limited. We do use the most powerful
eye-safe illuminator on the market. This allows
our IRI to extend out to 100 yards However,
because of the power at a short distance the IRI
may cover only 40-60% of the viewing area.
There are many different variables
that can effect the distance that you can see
with a Night Vision device. First, what are you
trying to see? Are you looking for another boat
on the water or are you looking for a rabbit in
the woods? The larger the object the easier it
is too see. Plus, are you trying to see details
(what we call recognition range) or are you just
trying to see if something is there or maybe you
will just see movement but won't be able to 100%
determine who or what it is. This is called
detection range. Second. Another variable is
lighting conditions. The more ambient light you
have (starlight, moonlight, infrared light) the
better and further you will be able to see You
can always see further on a night where the moon
and stars are out then if it is cloudy and
overcast. We typically state that you can tell
the difference between a male and a female or a
dog and a deer at about 75 to 100 yards.
However, if you were looking across an open
field and there was a half moon out you could
see a barn or a house 500 yards away.
As you look through a night vision
device you may notice black spots on the screen.
A NVD is similar to a television screen and
attracts dust and dirt. Typically these spots
can be cleaned. However, this may also be a spot
in the tube itself. This is normal. Most tubes
will have some spots in them. These black spots
will not affect the performance or reliability
of the night vision device. 
Only
two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: ...Jesus Christ and the American G. I. ...One died for your soul; the other for your freedom. |
