You can see stars brighter than magnitude +6 with your naked eye under dark sky conditions, and you can also see the full moon at magnitude –13. (You can glance at the Sun, which is at magnitude –27, but you can't safely look at the Sun.) Given these limits, what is the dynamic range of the naked eye?
