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."

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.
