takarás

English translation: obstruction

Hungarian term or phrase: takarás
The term comes up in a description of the advantages of a certain telescope for photography:

the person evaluating the device says

a XXX system használatával "lehetőségem nyilt 80-90%-os takarásból (fa mögűl, ház takarásában, stb) történő teljes élőképes fotók, és mozgóképek készítésére3

I haven't been able to find what photographers use for this term - I presume it means that the object is covered up 80-90% by a tree or house, etc. and still he is able by connecting the camera to the telescope to photograph or film it. "Coverage" doesn't seem to me right, especially as it seems to refer to what the camera DOES cover, not what is obstructed, eg. in Profotos Photography Glossary:
"Covering power - maximum area of image of usable quality, which a lens will produce."

Thanks!

In some formulations obstruction does seem to work. After further searching I found it used among people discussing binoculars as: 70% obstructed, or with 70-80% obstruction. Thanks for the tip!

hide / hiding


Explanation:
HIDE

Hide, another word for “Blind,” is an enclosure that provides a concealed camera position within, and overlooking, an animal’s territory. It is called a "hide" because it is meant to hide a photographer from the animals’ vision.
