Gen 1 Night Vision
1st generation is currently the most popular type of night vision in the world. Utilizing the basic principles described in detail in our guide, a 1st generation unit will amplify the existing light several thousand times letting you clearly see in the dark. These units provide a bright and sharp image at a low cost, which is perfect, whether you are boating, observing wildlife, or providing security for your home. You may notice the following when you are looking through a 1st Gen. unit. A slight high-pitched whine when the unit is on. The image you see may be slightly blurry around the edges. This is known as Geometric Distortion. When you turn a 1st Gen. unit off it may glow green for some time. These are inherent characteristics of a 1st Gen. unit and are normal.

Question
Looking at this Yukon unit versus Armasight Orion 4x for some varmint hunting. Other than the weight being much less, how does this unit stack up against the Orion?
From Brett on Sep 05, 2014
Answer
Yukon NVRS 1.5x42 is a very nice unit. but it is designed for close range hunting. It is a good scope fro crossbows for example. Armasight Orion has 4x magnification which is almost 3 times more. This is the reason it is heavier. otherwise both scopes are very capable.
Question
CAN YOU ZERO IN NIGHT VISION SCOPE IN DAY LIGHT IF CAP IS ON OR HOW DO YOU ZERO IN
From WILLIAM on Nov 14, 2014
Answer
Hi William. Night Vision scopes like the Yukon NVRS 1.5x42 are zeroed in at dusk via the holes you mentioned. Typically 10-15 minute session with the cap on should not damage your scope provided there is no direct sunlight into it.
