Personally, despite having an autopilot with all the full IF fit, gucci couplings etc. if I can't see a discernible horizon en route, I'm not continuing. I'm fortunate that I'm in a position where I can easily say no, however I appreciate others aren't in the same fortunate position and this is where the problems begin.
Now that you're liable for tasking out in the Shires at o'dark thirty, you really need to push for NVGs, Sid. Or have you already done so and been told it's too difficult/costly?
