If that's the off center cap - you can remove it for looking at the moon when it's too bright - it does slightly change the focal ratio but not enough to prevent viewing. It's just to reduce the glare and brightness that hurts your eye. Place it on the moulded lump next to it so you don't lose the cap :)

I reckon it could also have a solar application.
