I have, I use a Collins eyepiece (http://www.ceoptics.com/) for some observing, and it dramatically increases the number of sats seen. But it is grainy, so it has limited uses. -----Original Message----- From: seesat-l-bounces+paulgrace=lookoutranch.com@satobs.org [mailto:seesat-l-bounces+paulgrace=lookoutranch.com@satobs.org] On Behalf Of Roger Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2011 8:00 AM To: SeeSat-L Subject: night vision Has anybody had the opportunity to try out night vision goggles for satellite observing? I was watching a program on TV the other day, they had some shots looking through some NV goggles (trying not to type googles). I recognized a very bright Pleiades system and realized the goggles might help out seeing faint objects. I've never looked through a pair, but the view could be grainy (not sure if the grainyness is a video recorder byproduct or the goggle problem.) -- Roger -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
