Instead of "naked-eyed" viewing...I meant to say viewing with the eyes through a telescope or pair of binoculars...silly me, I got confused, maybe too excited. :-)
BTW, one CAN see some DSOs with naked eyes only...you need *very* dark and clear skies thought. One can see quite a few star clusters and even a galaxy (besides ours of course...which is *amazing* BTW)...M31, the Andromeda Galaxy...our closest neighbour. :-)
