Was at a range in Nevada sunday night to try out my new NV scope on my M4 flat top. My first experience using it on the rifle. It's a gen 3 from U.S. Optics and is awesome. this picture was take through it using a digital camera. Almost no moon, skies clouding up. Very dark. The object in the pic is a 5 gal can 37 yards away (as measured with my other new toy, a laser range finder). Without the NV the can could not be seen at all. With it the detail was amazing, and got even better if IR illumination was used. The cross hairs are part of the scope and look brighter in the pic to the camera than to the eye. Things look off kilter because we didn't have an adapter to attach the camera to the scope and were just holding it to the eye piece. Oh, in case anyone is wondering, yes the NV very clearly picks up IR illuminators and laser rangers when they are on.
