Ovni nightvision

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience of the Ovni-M or Ovni-B night vision eyepieces? Does anyone have one even?

I’d be been to know if they are as spectacular as the marketing says?

I’m thinking of one for my 28” SDM

I don't, but are they French speaking?

OVNI is French for UFO, it stands for Objet Volant Non Identifié. One of those rare cases where a literal translation works.

Ah, I wasn’t aware, but yes they are indeed French.

There surely must be at least one person in the whole of Australia who owns a pair of OVNI B?

It's interesting tec, I looked into them years back, but the military grade stuff wasn't readily available then. They do have a bit of an issue of halos, but certainly work. This new camera with built in ASI air would be absolutely awesome on your scope with images in live mode on your tablet!
