id say that its not about distance, because you can get light from billions of miles away getting into your lens
Id say its more about what you want to see, and how big and bright it is for you to be able to see it clearly
you could probably see pluto for example, but really small, like just a point

even the naked eye can see stars FAR away outside of our solar system, see what im saying?
