Yeah it's frustrating with import restrictions, especially knowing that eventually they will be allowed here anyway like everything else. What I don't fully understand too is why no astronomy manufactures have jumped on the opportunity to produce a NV product specifically designed for astronomy? What amateurs would like to see are NV devices that are designed to be plug & play with a telescope straight out of the box, larger FOV, NV that works with planets and maybe displays that more closely replicate the natural colour and look of DSOs in regular observing. Once that happens, plus lower prices, I can really see NV taking off and maybe rivaling glass observing.
