Hi Pete,
Have a look at the night vision store on here, Clive does a digi stalker front add on which is supposed to work with all scopes, as long as your Schmit has a low base mag.
I've not used one so can't tell you what it's like but it believe its supposed to be good

S&B scopes generally don't work well with rear NV add-ons like the PARD 007
The lens coatings don't let much IR through and they don't parallax down far enough to get a focussed image at short/medium ranges.
As Bob 57 says, an NV front add-on is your best bet.
There are really only 2 worth thinking about
The Pulsar Forward F455 and the Digistalker from the Night Vision store
They both do the job, but neither are particularly good compared to a dedicated NV scope or even a decent rear add-on
Depending on how you go about your shooting, it might worth thinking about fitting your S&B with quick release mounts and buying a dedicated NV scope (also with quick release mounts) and just swapping between the 2 scopes.

Cheers
