Our take on the Celestron 4.5x40 NV-2 Digital Night Vision Scope with IR Illuminator 71221

The Celestron NV-2 is a digital night vision monocular with 4.5x magnification and a 40mm objective lens. It uses an IR illuminator to see up to 200 meters in low light and records photos and video to an included 8GB microSD card. A 640x480 color display with auto brightness shows the image, and the rechargeable battery charges over USB. It suits casual night observers and hobbyists who want to record what they see, but its digital sensor and modest resolution put it below true Gen 2 or thermal optics for serious use.

About the Celestron 4.5x40 NV-2 Digital Night Vision Scope with IR Illuminator 71221

The Celestron NV-2 is a digital night vision scope with 4.5x magnification and a 40mm objective lens. It lets you view subjects up to 200 meters (656 ft) away. An infrared illuminator helps in low light.

It has a VGA 640x480 color display, and screen brightness adjusts automatically to the surrounding light. You can take photos and record video to a microSD card. You can play back or delete files on the scope.

To use your recordings elsewhere, transfer them to a Mac or Windows PC with the USB 2.0 cable. An audio/video output cable works with both PAL and NTSC monitors, so you can view on a larger screen.

Questions and answers

How far can the NV-2 see in the dark?
Celestron rates it for viewing subjects up to 200 meters away with the IR illuminator on. Real-world range is shorter in rain, fog or very dark conditions.
Does it record video?
Yes. It captures photos and video to the included 8GB microSD card, and you can play them back on the device or transfer them to a computer over USB.
What is included in the box?
The scope comes with an 8GB microSD card, a 3.7V 2,200 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, a soft carrying case, a padded hand strap, a lens cloth, a USB charging cable, an AV out cable and a cable bag.
Is the NV-2 good for stargazing?
It can show bright night-sky objects, but its 4.5x magnification and digital sensor are better suited to nearby terrestrial viewing than detailed astronomy.
How does it compare with Gen 2 night vision?
The NV-2 is a digital unit, so it costs less but shows a grainier, lower-resolution image than analog Gen 2 tubes, especially at long range.
