Regarding the use of old seeker heads for IR scopes

None of these are imaging devices so regardless of anything else
they are useless for imaging.  Also they generaly do not respond
to the cooler wavelengths and would not show people etc... only
jet engines.  In short they are highly specialized devices and
far more crude than you'd imagine.  Don't buy one unless it's
really cheap ($2).
