44° per NightStar specifications.
This night vision unit may help see targets in the dark depending on the distance and atmospheric conditions or whether you are using an IR illuminator. Please be very aware that prism red dots have a very specific eye relief and this binocular will almost definitely not work with a prism red dot because it will push your eyes farther than the prism scopes eye relief.
It is not a blacklight because that is UV light. The illuminator may have a hint of color too it, but it should mostly be invisible to the naked eye. But the manufacturer makes no mention of what the specifications of the illuminator are so you would need to verify with them if it is a wavelength that can be seen as a red glow.
