The Admiral correctly answered the first question in the challenge so if he wants to post,he can do so.Otherwise the challenge is open to any IPF member who wishes to post a challenge.

That's interesting and surprising. A light shone at night could reveal your position to the enemy. And yet the monocular had to be used in the open to be effective. Was it a red blackout light that was used?

The illumination device clamped closely on to the reticle illumination port on the monocular,allowing no stray light to escape. The only way to know the light was switched on would be to look through the eyepiece. Looking through the objective lens would reveal no trace of the light so nothing would alert the enemy.

Do you have an image of the light that's used?

Sorry,I don't. I've never even seen a picture of the illuminating device.

Well it sounds very high tech for something conceived of almost a century ago. I've only got half a foot-in at the moment. I'll try to post a new challenge shortly. If anyone else is at the ready, please jump in.

Ok, I can't stand it anymore. I'll just have to find something to present a challenge after the fact.

This is a CD collection of the Outer Limits science fiction (and other weirdness) series.

I recognized the series immediately, though I didn't realize it was a CD collection until the last pic.

It is The Outer Limits. It's a DVD collection. And physical proof that well written television is timeless.
Over to you for the next challenge tp.
