    Re: Curious sextant add-on
    From: Bill Lionheart

    Would such a night vision device work for seeing the horizon after
    sunset? As I understand it they amplify low levels of available
    visible and IR light.
    
    I have never looked through night vision equipment but my
    understanding was they are useful for relatively close objects?
    
    I searched for "night vision sextant" and this article from the 1940s
    recommends wearing red glasses for 30mins to enhance your night vision
