Quasar 3C-273 a few degrees away from M61 in Virgo. You'll need to print a field star chart to make sure you've got the right object as it appears stellar.
Probably the most distant thing you can see with an 8".
Distance - 749MPsec or 2.4 Gl.y. assuming the redshift is entirely cosmological and not caused by the relativistic speeds of the jets emerging from it.
cheers,
Andrew
