observation - Around what apparent magnitude can the naked eye observe an object during full moon

It may shave off 1 or 2 magnitudes, but it depends on many factors: nature of the object (star, nebula, galaxy), altitude (higher altitude has less light scatter), transparency, etc. There's no One Single Answer To Rule Them All.



Light pollution from artificial sources has a greater impact in most cases.
