I do this actually - I use an eyepatch to cover my non-observing (left) eye and as soon as I lift my observing (right) eye from the eyepiece i switch the patch over to it so I can preserve my night vision. It works great for spotting low contrast DSOs, especially when using a laptop.

I am very right eye dominant so it makes a big difference to me; YMMV.
