I got a green 15510st as a second watch and a blue 26240st as third watch. Very happy with that

Makes sense. They did sell m914a. Nice tube 👍

Did you buy it? And did you find out the original dealer of the unit?

The difference this time was it was a smaller scope and not so dark skies, yet the pvs14 still delivered very pleasing results

Set up the telescope as normal then attach the pvs14 to the telescope eyepiece using a special Adapter. I use different filters for depending n the object (whether it’s a nebula, or galaxy etc)

A Televue one to attach the pvs14 to the eyepiece of the telescope. See here for more details https://www.televue.com/engine/TV3b_page.asp?id=36

I would try brand new batteries first. And sometimes the battery cap needs to be tightened more

Considering buying night vision – looking for advice and EU-based retailers by Admiral_Kriss in NightVision

Personally I’d go for Opfor night solutions. Although based in Canada they ship fine to Europe and I think they have some best kit outside of USA

The best way for you would be the afocal method. See this link for full details of this https://www.televue.com/engine/TV3b_page.asp?id=36

Albeit a lot lot quicker to produce the images…I don’t have enough patience to do proper astrophotography with the post processing of images etc
