I'm still struggling a tad with the effect of the base magnification when choosing a thermal spotter. I understand that clarity depends on the number of pixel units and how they are magnified.
If I'm looking to use the thermal spotter in close (woods as opposed to expansive field), a wider FOV is helpful. I keep telling myself that if all things are equal between two thermal units, I should choose the one with the lowest native magnification. Now, I can't explain why I think that which means I'm no longer confident it is even true.
If I was comparing the Pulsar XQ23V (base mag of 1.8) to a Helion XQ30F (base mag of 2.5) what does the difference in native magnification mean to its effectiveness?
