The Orion Nebula, one of the "stars" in the constellation Orion, is 1400 light years away.
Different types of stars have different magnitudes, and can be visible at different distances, as do other objects, like nebulas.
And yes, with a telescope, you can see numerous additional stars. The Milky Way becomes a boring group of stars when viewed through a telescope, because they are no longer tightly packed.

When I enlarge that on my phone, I can even see the shape of the Orion Nebula.
I wish I had equipment that good, and your skill.
