This is where it is more useful to use a binocular. With a monocular you get a good amount of blur where the ring or frame of your optic is visible and way out of focus. Here's a shitty phone photo to illustrate. I'm using an Aimpoint CompM4S.



What some people do is use the NOD on the non dominant eye, and look through the red dot with the dominant eye. I find that this does not work for me except in decently well lit conditions, because I need certain things to be bright enough to be reference landmarks on my naked eye to match the images together.

What I do is I only put part of my NOD behind my optic. That way the blurriness is mostly on the bottom of my image, but I still see my reticle at the very center.
