Would I be able to use this to see storm clouds 20-30 miles away on a well-lit night?

I doubt it, the resolution on this monocular is probably inadequate to your needs. In general, night vision resolution is pretty limited after 100 yards.

If there is gps coverage it will work. Range depending on terrain and cloud coverage. Clear line of sight 2 miles dense undercover something under a mile.

630 meters. But will light up reflective objects even farther and hit clouds!

The night vision is quite good depending on the distance you want to see, 20 ft. works good and inside a building even works better. If your mounting it outside make sure the power supply is protected from moisture, if it gets wet it will burn out. Just mount the power supply under something so rain won't fall directly on it. Hope this helps

Hi Joe, It can reach a good distance if the house lights are dim. If not maybe a 30-35ft radius. Has lots of colors & modes. Hope that helps you.

it is VERY bright we live where there are no lights and it shines a great distance .. don't know well it would work if it is not really dark..

Yes within 30 feet, works well. However n complete darkness or minimal lighting not so great.

The distance is not an issue you will be able to see it at 6 ft away. We have never used it in the day or in a bright room but I do feel if may be an issue as it at times was not extremely bright with some videos displayed on it.

300 feet maybe, 500 feet no way. This distance would require a very powerful (read=expensive) spotlight.

Id say yes. I've used it to spot turkey at 500 plus yards with no problem. Even got a close up on an Eagle flying at cloud level. Hope this helps, and enjoy.

I believe it depends. I have used this to look at Jupiter and I could not see much if any cloud features. I have shelved this device and am trying an iphone adapter to take pictures of Jupiter and am only having slightly better success with that.

I think it would be perfect for such a use. They throw a fair amount of light at a short distance, so reading should be fine. I don't agree with the other users who said it's very low light. It would be way too bright as a night-light (IMO). It's not going to light up a room, but a kid doesn't need a lot of light for bedtime reading.

It depends on how bright and saturated you want/need the effect to be. I threw it on a 20 x 12 foot wall from a distance of maybe 10 feet away. It was brilliant and sharp and fairly all encompassing (It was night time - with some ambient light around) Double that distance and the effect and coverage suffers greatly.

tough question. How much light do you want? The light shines on my mountain 300 feet away and I can see the bushes and rocks. Beyond that I can't say.

I wasn't able to use it in the rain, but I see no reason it wouldn't. This thing lights up a LOT. You can focus the light and shine it even further. I was able to shine it up on canyon walls probably 300-400 feet away.

Please note that the night vision visibility is around 30ft-60ft depending on the location and the environment you installed in.

If you look directly into the device, there will be a faint res dot. You can not see any light otherwise. It will throw out to about 150 yards effectively, maybe a bit more. There ia about a 30 degree angle either side od center.
