Hi JB,
I’ve been following the cloudy EAA forum for a few years and the NV has got me intrigued as well. I can understand how it is much more like visual than video astronomy/live stacking. I’ve tried getting hold of a device a few times, but unsuccessfully. Enquired with a firm who sells to the ADF but it was all too hard. I was in the USA over Christmas and enquired there, easy enough to buy, but almost certainly will get confiscated at customs on departure. In my research I did come across a couple of people who had managed to sneak one through US customs. Not worth the risk IMO given the cost of the devices.
Like most other industries, we are just very slow adopters in Australia, mainly through governmental restrictions (look at the TGA!!!). Will definitely try it out when I can get my hands on a device.
