I think all the Milky Way's dwarf companions' surface brightnesses are too low to be seen with the naked eye. A globular cluster could be pretty spectacular if your Terminus happened to be close by one. Maybe it's to be assumed that there isn't, however, by the description of Terminus as being the backwater of the galaxy. | |
