From one mad scientist to another (first posted October 1997, no response 
received):

A common question asked here is "What's the most distant object visible to the 
naked eye?" My question is a bit of a turn-about. I've often wondered what naked-
eye object lies closest to the core of our own galaxy. I'm assuming good seeing 
on a dark night - say down to m6.
