I’m in a shallow cove so really don’t venture out past sunset lol. I haven’t played with the SiOnyx much but it is a pretty handy thing to have aboard.
It’s so easy to lose your night vision but there’s nothing wrong with slowing down to collect your bearings, or even take a leisurely cruise  |
LED Nav lights throw out a ton of IR, the Aurora will pick up a lot just with that. I usually just give it to the navigator, and have her give me a heads up if she sees something.
I do have a fandyfire IR flashlight that I can pair with this- that gets me quite a bit of illumination without blinding other boaters or killing night vision.
