Campbelp could be right, but I think it's more likely that the expression you mean is "naked-eye star".

I think it refers to the core of a star that is left after the star explodes and throws off its outer layers.

naked-eye star
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A star visible without a telescope or other optical aid, except for spectacles or contact lenses. In principle, the naked-eye limiting magnitude is about 5.5. However, what can actually be seen with the naked-eye depends upon the individual, the location, and the conditions of the observation.

Are you perhaps referring to a naked singularity? This would be a singularity that is not actively taking in matter and therefore would be very difficult to see... if not impossible.

I think it means considering a star without its surrounding corona.
