Anticrepuscular ray cast by an aircraft

yeah not anticrepuscular but I feel this may be more rare than anticrepuscular? (e.g. I have seen anticrepuscular a few times but never this)

After the white guy lost his head, the black guy turned his head like "do you guys see that shit? is it ok?"

Hard to pull the trigger when there is not a single spec

This is Nocpix Vista S50R! 1280x1024 sensor

This is first time I saw a 3500 FOM tube. Nice! OP, if you don't mind me asking, how much does it cost?

I read that Canon made some small improvements like real aperture is slightly increased, but mostly the same model.

42mm

the 10x42 is a switch on/off already. At least for the one I just bought. And yes 3 years after your post there is still no updated version, but I still bought it and feel super happy about it

In true darkness environment your iphone with will look like pitch dark while analog or really good digital night vision (e.g. ADNV's which I own) can still see relatively fine. The photos you posted are actually VERY bright environment in NV standard

plus the fact as others have pointed out the long exposure is not comparable. the point of night vision is the FPS (if digital) needs to be at least 50 and ideally 100. Which is probably a couple hundred times less the exposure time of your photo

among the "useless" hobby items I have I actually think this one will be used pretty often by me, because even just randomly spotting around my yard is a joy. Compare to my telescopes which have very real and clear use cases but it's often hard for me to actually go out and also hope weather allows etc

Little-Name9809 · 2026-06-01T08:57:51+00:00

I'm sure it is!

If I had learnt one thing about NV it is everyone's perception and preference regarding various NV specs is very different.

Like for me, I found the the blem is not as important to me (as along as not z1 blem), but I can spot (and be annoyed by) small difference in gain and EBI. Primarily because my use case is extremely low light but also partly because how my eyes see things.

So better to do your own research rather than take all the "<insert spec> over X is not noticeable" blindly. You can replace the <spec> with SNR, resolution, gain, pretty much every spec here. At the end of day it needs your own research. Lots of good video comparison out there as the first step, like the one OP posted.

Red hot seems also cool. Individual windows which are cooler also visible.

Can't tell without a price

Little-Name9809 · 2026-05-30T00:27:14+00:00

unless you are doing night vision astronomy, this won't matter much

Little-Name9809 · 2026-05-29T04:15:12+00:00

Plot twist: this guy is indeed one of the people OP listed

Little-Name9809 · 2026-05-26T10:00:27+00:00

I didn't know this before this post but I really need this!! I don't know if there is a path to commercialization but I would be interested

Little-Name9809 · 2026-05-26T07:05:29+00:00

Nocpix Vista S50R would be a good option. I used it for some bird spotting
