List of Quasars Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
Proper naming of quasars are by Catalogue Entry, Qxxxx±yy using B1950 coordinates, or QSO Jxxxx±yyyy using J2000 coordinates. They may also use the prefix QSR. There are currently no quasars that are visible to the naked eye.

Quasar Hunting - Sky and Telescope
The first challenge is obtaining a list of quasars that are bright enough to see through the eyepiece of a backyard telescope. Then you have to "weed" the list for objects that aren't really quasars and objects whose magnitudes are inaccurate. And finally, since most quasars look exactly like stars through the eyepiece of a telescope, you need a detailed image to make sure that you're really looking at the quasar and not a star of similar brightness a few arcseconds off the correct location.

Quasar - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
Quasars or quasi-stellar radio sources are the most energetic and distant members of a class of objects called active galactic nuclei (AGN). Quasars are extremely luminous and were first identified as being high redshift sources of electromagnetic energy, including radio waves and visible light, that appeared to be similar to stars, rather than extended sources similar to galaxies.
