Sorry folks, in my previous answer, I used the
scope for star gazing, not for taking sights!!! The star image in my amplifier
scope is larger (blurred) than with the conventional scope. The sight would
suffer in accuracy accordingly. Maybe the newer night scopes are better, but the
sharpness of a good conventinal scope is unbeatable. José

The idea intrigues me and in theory it sounds like it would work, but I do not know anyone who has actually used one at sea.Robert
