    Not to burst the bubble, but i’m pretty sure that, even blocking more than 50% of the aperture, the astronomer still wouldn’t be able to see the person. The astronomer would just see a significantly darker and warped version of the thing behind the person, since the person, much like the various mirror assemblies and mounts inside the telescope, are all wildly out of focus.
