    This photo gives a better idea of distance viewing with a set of PVS-7`s. We had a good few days but unfortunatly the commercial pest control boys had been on the property the same week so we only got around 45 Wallabys. But it was a bit of fun all the same.

    Looks pretty good. So that's the Katod? What tube specs?

    Thats the lower end tube FOM min1260 (SOLD) but from memory it measured 1451FOM , lp/mm61 , S/N23.8 ,gain 55`000x. They go in 3 grades FOM 1260 min , FOM 1600 min , FOM 1800 min. Have one arriving this morning in FOM1260min.
    I had been invited to do a Demo in Timaru area so had the Katod with me. 4 sets of PVS-7`s was a bit of overkill.
    As you know Gimp I have had a bit to do with this stuff and it takes a bit to impress me after the U.S gear. I wouldn`t bring it in if I wouldn`t be happy useing it myself. The FOM1260 makes the XR5 tubes look pretty sick @ about half the price.
    I should have taken some photos through my sons goggles at the time,hes useing XR5, but I was really just pissing around with the camera and seeing if I could get photos through it.
    I could do a line up for you if you want Gen2? Kite,PVS-7 in following: XR5, Gen3 ITT 64lp/mm, Gen3 Pinnical, Katod Gen3 FOM1260. Moon is full at moment so would have to wait till it goes down some,Even Gen1 crap would work at the moment. Thats if I still have a Katod in stock, they don`t lay around here very long.
