Im working on putting together my first gen 3 device.
I have ordered a pvs-14 housing kit, and a rhino 2 mount/ j arm for my helmet.
Will be buying an mx10160 tube here soon.

Anyway, I just stumbled upon people using NV for astronomy. I used to have thousands of dollars worth of telescopes I sold years ago and got out of that hobby.
I do still have a small refractor telescope sort of like a 100mm spotting scope most of you would be familiar with.
Anyway.... They are using the MOD3 housing type monocular with the c-mount option which allows for the monoculars objective lens to be removed and a 1.25" tube to be screwed on which is then able to be inserted into a telescopes focuser just like any eyepiece.
This would be a bonus for me as it would give me an extra use for the monocular when camping.

I know nothing about the mod3 but my pvs-14 housing has not shipped yet so wondering if I should change my order to the mod3?
Again I know nothing about the mod 3 so not even sure if the kit UNV has is complete minus the tube.
Its actually cheaper than the pvs-14 kit but dont know if its compatible with the j-arm and rhino 2 Ive already ordered.

Any opinions/suggestions on this?
thanks

Any guesstimate on pricepoint for the adapter?
Is it a one size fits most type of deal or would one need a seperate adapter for each eyepiece?

thanks

That photo is incredible. I have used nightvision to look at stars, but not through a telescope.

Interesting.  That's combining two things that I would have never thought of.  Stargazing with a -14 was just goofing off to me.  But I can definitely see the appeal, as a hobby.
