Night Owl Night Vision For Out Of Doors
Night Owl Optics Night Vision has been producing night vision for the consumer for decades. Their equipment is designed and built for camping enthusiasts and anyone interested in home security. Night Owl's night vision devices (NVDS) include head mountable goggles, light weight monoculars and dual tube Gen 1 binoculars. The National Geographic series of binoculars and monoculars are one of their products.
The first thing to consider when selecting night vision is how and under what conditions you plan to use it. Night owls NexGen monoculars can help you see a little better in low light conditions. Other than a white light flash light, they maybe your only alternative in total darkness. They work exceptionally well in the woods where light sucking undergrowth can hide what your looking for.
The standard Night Owl Optics NexGen series includes three different magnifications- 2x, 3x and 4x. The Galactic View NexGen GView extends the magnification out to 5x with a 60mm lens. The GView is perfect for long reach viewing and stargazing.
They also make a water proof version of their NexGen monoculars. The Night-Owl-Marine-4x42. This monocular is suitable for just about any of the wet conditions you can throw at it.
The Night-Owl--3x42 Binocular is one of the best on on the market. The NOB3X Binocular has dual image tubes and improved multi-coated optics. It is fairly light weight for a field binocular and rubber armored for protection from the elements.
Night Owl goggles are light weight and have a quick push button release to detach them from their head mount or simply flip them up and out of the way.
Monocular, binocular or goggle, Gen 1 devices are the least expensive and most available night vision devices in the consumer market. Consumer Gen 1 is their specialty. All of their equipment is designed to brighten and enhance image contrast in darker conditions with built in IR illumination.
IR illuminators used with NVDS operate within the near infrared range of the light spectrum from the high side of 700 nanometers to 940 nanometers. This area of the light spectrum is unseen by the human eye and most animals. Aside from the red glow of the illuminator element, the IR light will still only be evident to another NVD and a handful IR sensitive animals.
Night Owl image intensifier tubes have a resolution of somewhere between 32 lp/mm and 36 lp/mm. This resolution is measured in the middle of the image. All Gen 1 night vision presents different degrees of distortion as you move from the middle of the image. Much of the Gen 1 edge distortion typical in Gen 1 is taken out by design. Their generation 1 devices are high quality, versatile and the prices are some of the lowest out there.
