Starry Night Map: Quaoar can only be seen by experienced backyard astronomers with expensive equipment. But you can find its general location in southwest. It is below Han, a moderately bright star, and near HIP 80793, a star near the limit of naked-eye viewing under very dark skies. Pluto is nearby, but seeing it requires a telescope, too.
