I’ve got a PVS-14 night vision monocular No magnification, but some evening I’ll lay in my lawn chair (we live in the country so not much light polution) and scan the sky. You see all sorts of satellites and meteorites you’d never see otherwise.

In another life, I was a science teacher. Each year I would as each class how many had ever seen a satellite at night. Generally less than 5%, and these were generally kids of well educated parents.

I envy you. It is my dream to live in the country. Was lucky enough to live one year in central New York State in a tiny hamlet. A nearby farmer had his cows right across the road from us. However, marriage fell part, she moved back to NYC, and I couldn't take the loneliness. But that was a long time ago. I doubt I'll have any such problems today.
