Anyone have any experience with Gen 3 Night vision?

Sure would be handy coming into an unknown rocky jetty.

The one's you now see on cop cars (thermal Vision) are now under 5K.

I have a Gen 2 monocular, and it's great for the purpose you describe.
Gen 3 would be overkill for many sailing situations. Gen 2 works well
when there is some ambient light from artificial sources, while Gen 3 does
a pretty fair job with just starlight.

The most cost effective NV system I've seen is called a flashlight.
