Say i have night vision goggles. Can i look through a non night vision rifle scope with my goggles on and see a magnified image in night vision?

Ive seen it happen with video cameras. a guy put his night vision over his video camera and recorded in night vision. however he was in the military and was using high quality night vision.

Also what generation would you suggest for hunting? 1? 2?
i can only really afford 1 or 2.

Yes it has been done but remember a camera especially newer digital ones have a wider spectrum of vision than the naked eye and if you are serious about hunting or using a rifle in the dark you really should consider using a proper night vision scope.
If you try to improvise by using night goggles with an existing scope at night you run into all sorts of issues, judging distances inaccurately being one of them which in turn could be a hindrance on your personal safety not to mention others.

Make sure you use the correct tool for the job it just makes sense that way. There are many manufacturers that make night vision hunting scopes in all prices ranges.

ATN, Tasco, Bushnell, Yukon and Nightowl are all worth checking out.

Good Luck

I bought a pair of 1st generation Seben binoculars and am curious as to what causes the whine when they are active. I understand the principle behind how they work, but what causes the whine?
I have night vision stuff because I like nature and I like gadgets.

Image intensifier tubes require a high voltage source to operate. I'd guess your binoculars use something like a high frequency flyback transformer to provide that voltage.
