I was playing around with my new PVS-30 and it appears a roof ridge line is faintly “burned” into the tube form looking at it too long? NVG newbie here appreciate the advice.

It should go away in time. Pic would help but you could always try the shoe box trick...Flip the cover up and turn the unit on in a no light box and stick it in a drawer for sevetal hours. This can sometimes cure some highlight spots depending on how severe the high light shading is...
Could be my eyes, but that reticle looks burned in too, no? Was that pic taken mounted through a scope and reticle out of focus? Or straight through the ocular of the -30 looking at the cover or blank wall?
A reticle should not be in front of the tube.

Mounted through the scope.... if I zoom in with the scope you can’t see the image top left. I have an a dark drawer right now trying that trick Victor-TNVC suggested
Hey trick worked! I appreciate all the advice and help!!
that happens about anytime you leave nv static with a image or light differential. be careful doing it on any distant visible light as those take longer to heal and sometimes wont
Generally as well, if you cut it off, then looking up into the sky, where you have "even light", and cut it back on, might have to do it a couple of times, the lines generally go away. In the last 10 years of driving with NV, I've had unexpected light sources cause those lines, and the technique I described, cleared them up.
