Last night the negatives of a digital night vision scope kicked in: The hand held thermal showed up 3 bunnies within easy shooting range. Turn on the pard 008 and hit the IR illuminator and its white rabbit in a snow storm stuff. The mist had rolled in. Didn't bother the thermal at all, but the digital night vision with illuminator is identical to spotlighting in misty conditions. All you get in the scope is the IR backscatter off the water droplets.
Tonight though, no mist, and the bunnies are down
