Technically, visible with the naked eye. As you go up in optics, you'll get more detail. A nicer higher end home telescope would probably be sufficient and satisfying. It takes time and optics to gather enough light to make it what I think you are expecting.
An example of someone doing this.

(Relatively) Not a lot of photons coming from that tiny patch of sky 6500 light years away.
