Hey guys, as title suggests - does anyone have exp with using night vision gear? I see some wicked vids on YouTube.

Also some night vision gear is super expensive - had anyone had luck with the cheapish old military scopes? Like the $300 range ones?

Any lastly, has anyone got a camera rig setup to watch the sky through the night and record any anomalys? I imagine you'd be able to do some pretty cool stuff with a script and a high zoom PTZ camera with appropriate lens/filters.

Any thoughts appreciated!
