First, remember night shots through the tube never look as good as the real image, we wish they would.
What we do is to first remove the rubber eye guards from the NV device. the easiest setup I find (I'm no camera whiz like my Director), is to set the camera to auto, cancel the flash and place the camera lens directly behind as close as you can get to the eyepiece lens of the NVD. (They just about touch in most cases). Tri-pods for mounting at least one of the devices helps tremendously.
The other key is to have enough light down range so the camera's auto setting can lock onto the target. Sometimes if it's REALLY dark out there and you do not have any IR illumination, the camera will fight to lock on something for the auto setting. If if does not lock, the pictures usually do not come out well.
Either way, even with a good auto lock we find you have to take many pics to get the best one.
Hope this helps.

What kind of camera are you using? A lot can be done depending on if you are using a DSLR, point and shoot, or cell phone. I use a DSLR with an ITT PVS-14 Night Enforcer and the PVS-14 camera adapter for most of our through-the-tube shots. There are different camera settings needed for night vision.

Clasky any suggestions on shutter speed, f-stops for pics. Here are some pics I tried tonight with Nikon D5100 and 18-55mm lens and ITT NEPVS14-17 pinnacle tube. These pics were all taken with gain set the same and F5.6, ISO 100, 2.0 shutter speed, AWB shot in JPEG. Was trying to capture iR illuminators at different distances against trees across open field. No moon, clear sky with starlight.
no illumination
TNVC torch wide flood, tree 120yrd
TNVC torch narrow spot, tree 126yrd
TNVC torch wide flood, far tree line 356yrd
TNVC torch narrow spot, far tree line 356yrd
Magnalight iR LED pistol grip spot light
