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!
