You don't see the "shooting stars" peering into an eyepiece, nor many of the satellites floating around serenely as they go about their business.
Sometimes I use my eyes alone to go "fuzzy spotting" then when I spot one I use the scope to check it out. Try it, you'll see what I mean,..........

very true for me also
also when peering through eyepieces for a no. of early morning hours
the eyes become tired and naked eye grazing the dark crowded 7mag sky gives em a break
I swear some nights I can read by starlight and often see sharp shadow outlines
