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.
