Of course. What I meant by that was “oh, so the background behind the person would appear totally unobscured, and diffraction and aberration from the weird shape blocking part of the view wouldn’t make it more fuzzy?”
The diffraction caused by an obstruction is hard to see in binoculars. If you stick your entire hand in front of a 6 inch telescope, the viewer won’t even notice other than the dimming. For a telescope that size, you’d need a camera to even notice the dip in brightness.

Thanks for the clarification!
