Is there a website for a reference?

It would be bright with stars. In our part of the Milky Way, there is about one star per cubic parsec. Near the galactic center, there are ten million stars per cubic parsec.
The black hole would not be easily visible---it's about the size of a big (red giant) star, and surrounded by millions of stars. Since it's not being fed much gas now, it won't be very bright.

If you could slice the center of the galaxy open there would be an increasing congestion of in falling stars that would eventually merge at the center as a massive conglomeration of neutron stars being processed to a quantum state

That is impossible to say because at the galactic center is a black hole and a black hole is black becuase light can't escape, giving us no visible source of reference.

It's visible in the infrared. Discovery Science channel did a whole show on it the other night. I think the title was "Supermassive Black Holes"
