i am quite worried about the amount of people that are showing an interest in buying Night Vision. i assure you it will be a waste of money, you will struggle to make out the outline of a 747 never mind anything interesting.
you will see the movement of lights, but completely unable to identify anything at that distance, just a grainy image of "something"

Okey, let us pretend this is real, why arent we helping ?
If ET's are batteling for us, should we pick up a gun too ??
Or are we just not advanced enough ?
Come on, I just saw a Mothership coming in with Comet Holmes Vid, and Collier say there are Motherships all over the place !??

Very impressive-looking "little system" it is too! Do you find that high magnification of moving objects, say, known satellites, takes a good image, or is it better to keep a larger sky view?
That didn't make much sense; let me try and ask another way....
Suppose you wanted to take video of a faint satellite -- perhaps the Envisat or Genesis in the 4 - 5 magnitude (for your location) range.. Would you get a "better" video that showed it's movement relative to other fixed objects with a wide field of view, or with higher magnification? Also, are you able to fluidly track moving objects? Thanks much!
thank you! For me, that was an excellent visual. Very clear.
I take the telescope off of the tripod and just put it over my shoulder like a RPG.

Just for the record..... thank you both for your information. I think it's likely you've entered into an area wherein the written word resonates as more terse than intended by the author(s).
Given that you both seem to have a level of expertise in this area, do you know of any way in which I can enhance or better my NV recording? I'm using an ATN Night Storm Gen2 in combination with a camera adapter, and a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 camera, mounted on a sturdy and stable tripod.
My general method is to set upon a known point in the sky, and just capture video through the NV. Often I will use my older gen 1 NV to scan the skies at the same time.
Any suggestions that you might have given that I'm stuck with this level of equipment? thanks
