It’s actually bright enough that it can be seen naked-eye from very dark places. So, it’s the furthest thing you can see without the aide of a telescope.

M31 (Andromeda) is the furthest you can see easily, but, that’s another story.

A beautiful sight in a scope. With the right lens, you can see both this and M82 in the same view.
