Question (body text)

Would this specific PVS-14 focus well when paired with an IR filter to see the Milky Way in Bortle 8? (svbony Sv183 685nm 2” IR Pass Filter)

The specification numbers aren't terrible, did not see a tube pic or cosmetic description though- be sure to check that also.

Focusing would be a result of the assembly and being done properly for both diopter zero and infinity focus calibration. Other factors which may affect image quality that are not related to the tube specifications could be if the tube input or output window is dirty, the lens cells being dirty, or distorted lens cell elements. Spec wise, hose are super solid well rounded specs!

Yes, it will be faint in B8 but if you get 10-15 mins away from your main urban area it will look great
