Oh sod that. We'll never get another night's sleep out field if we are able to walk around at night just like it is daytime. It's bad enough with the crappy stuff we have to use now.
Hopefully I will be retired by then...
From an astro pov, it can be quite interesting to turn night vision gear upwards. The resolution isn't good enough to observe much detail on anything, but it does its job and shows far more stars than are visible to the human eye. The jewell box is notable, as are many nebulae and clusters. Without actually checking stars against a chart, I'd say you get down to about Mag 8 when using night vision gear.
