See and not be seen with the help of a Night Owl Explorer Marine Pro Night Vision Scope

Ever since I left active duty I have been looking to get my hands on one of these night vision monoculars. Having experienced the infra-red technology in more advanced scopes during military service, I was hoping to obtain a consumer version which hopefully would not cost "an arm and a leg" while at the same time producing reasonable quality images. I was not disapointed as Night Owl has done a fantastic job with the Explorer which isavailable at the affordable $293.00 from Amazon.

"With the Night Owl, you will see an image as if you just looked through a regular optical device, except the image will appear in a monochrome green color."

Product Description:

"The Night Owl Optics Marine Pro Night Vision Scope is a high-performance night vision tool that is engineered to surpass usual specifications. You'll enjoy superior optical resolution, a 650' view range and the 2-pc. body is covered in blue weather-resistant rubber that makes it a great monocular for outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, nighttime wildlife watching and more. Features 5x magnification and soft-touch control buttons and indicator lights."

The scope basically turns night into day and while you can view persons and objects in darkness, your presence would go undetected. The beam from the infra-red illuminator may however be detected in total darkness.
