I attempted Vesta naked eye about 2 weeks ago. I was unable to do it but I suspect that that was because there was a fair bit of thin cloud and a LOT of fog that morning. It was easily found in 10X50 binoculars.
I'm hoping to try again in the next few mornings.
It is currently displaying a disk 1/2'' across so perhaps someone with a large telescope could barely resolve the disk.
