Oops. In my previous message I meant to say for night paddling, spotting wildlife on shore, seeing rocks, etc. I'm resending. Have any of you used night vision scopes for night paddling? What were your experiences? Most inexpensive scopes seem to be limited to around 2.5 to 4x magnification and use IR illumination. Are they adequate? Are there any inexpensive night vision scopes that don't use IR but rely solely on light amplification, or are they too expensive? The cheapies (IR scopes) I've seen advertised don't even mention light amplification for the most part. Is 30,000:1 enough, or is more needed? Do you have technical references or useful web pages? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
