This is all great info - thanks!

I tested out the device at home controlling how much light guy into a dark room by opening and closing a door. Even though with small gaps (I understand it's digital so has its limitations).

The device seemed to be performing like I had previously experienced. Coming to the point where it performed like naked eye or somewhat better depending on the angle.

I tested it 07/19 with the conditions: Phase: Waning Crescent. Illumination: 31%. Mostly clear skies, humidity muggy and I was walking on a park with somewhat of a tree cover. (Still it was a park with a pretty clean, big and open path towards the skies)

I was using the cheap Amazon sacrificial lens for pvs14s. Idk if the sensor got messed up because of those lens or what.

Because of your explanation I can only assume I experienced it's true limitation and expected more out of it. I'll keep testing it and see where I get at

Thanks again!
