No day caps??

Ouch!

My wife’s boyfriend did the same thing bruh. His LT was pessed!

@@user-mj1vb8jr6j 🤦‍♂️🤣

Good idea!

​@@HRTTacticalGearplease use good high output incandescent lighting as well

Dirty civilian already did

Based on their discussion, sounds like it PROBABLY wouldn't damage your tube instantly. The longer your tube is exposed to that light, the more likely it'll cause damage.

If your tubes are autogated you'll be fine.

@@bblauter street lights and porch lights don’t bother my unfilmed Gen 3, even if looking directly at them briefly. You start getting temporary shadow streaking in the tube with things like car headlights and even tail lights from roughly 40’ feet and in. The moon is one of the more hazardous things to look at in your typical night time mixed light environments. Most of the other night time style lights are perfectly manageable with short exposure to looking directly at them. But looking at the things those types of lights are illuminating is zero problem at all.

Yeah! The full moon can really do a number. I had a blem form on my Elbit green phos from a full moon. Didnt even look at it for a long time. Less than 5 seconds id say. Luckily a black box healed it about 90 percent to where i dont notice it unless i focus on a white wall. The moon is after all just reflecting sunlight.

@@lonestarpiper4917 yeah I’ve even gone so far as to turn my gain *all* the way down and then look at the moon for 1-2 seconds. And that shit will *still* leave a shadow streak across my tube for a few minutes.

flash bangs... lasers... strobes...

Great questions, will add it to the list.

@@HRTTacticalGearthank you

What if you destroy the nvg of someone who wasn't scum and willing to help? alot of us realize community is more important then just running everyone off nvg is extremely easy to hide from thermal not so much but if you don't have nvg and are facing people that do by the time you destroy one unit the others got you down best bet is to stay hidden because the fight is already out of your favor and your only bringing more danger to yourself/family

As a poor you too can afford night vision or thermal, just gotta budget and make a few financial sacrifices

The best way to defeat night vision is to not operate at night when you don't have night vision for yourself

Try being on Camera...lol

Fair point, just seemed like y’all had an inside joke or something. Good content though

only if you have thermal already

@@MrJesulius thanks

You can permanently damage a powered off tube if it points towards the sun

@HenrikSherwood false.. it would have to be aligned and focused on the sun projecting a focused beam onto the plate. It would take a concentrated effort to get it lined up and focused. Just setting on a table as the sun moves past would cause no damage what so ever. It's almost as if you guys never use this stuff

​@@johnadams673exactly. Adjustable irises are a definite good insurance policy to use. They're great to have and you don't need those crazy expensive matboc ones. I also made little camp ghilli covers for the objective lenses. I keep them on all the time. They help reduce ambient light and shine on the day

Simple answer is No, there is an entire subsector of Astrology telescope users that implement NV tube into their telescope equipment.

The sun causes damage because it's so close and bright. The stars are hundreds of light-years away, and are incredibly dim. They can't damage your tubes.
