A starlight scope does indeed amplify very low levels of ambient light.
They would be great and I wouldn't turn one away if you gave me one but be aware
Right now on cloudy nights they amplify the ambient light of streetlights that is reflected back from clouds.
After SHTF cloudy nights will be very dark and I suspect they may not work when there is heavy cloud cover (on cloudless nights they will work with starlight)
They are also an active device needing batteries.
