educate me re: night vision

i hope this is the right place for this

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so i wanted to get into night vision so i purchased a used nait viper gen 3. old style housing but supposedly decent tube. it takes c mount lenses. right now it has a 75 mm f1.3 lens. if i wanted to try to use it head mounted or something, would it be better to go with like a 50 mm lens? does it matter? i am not very wise when it comes to this stuff. also, would things like the eye piece be interchangeable? i know switching out the whole housing is like 1000 bones, but im wondering how i can improve it/make it lighter/upgrade it. any and all info is much appreciated!

Check under scopes... there is a whole section devoted to night vision.

And there is an outstanding primer by Victor at TNVC.

Cheers,
