It is 100% possible. There are optical pulsars (i.e. pulsars that emit visible light) and there should exist optical non-pulsing neutron stars as well. One of the most famous neutron stars, the crab pulsar actually emits visible light and the Hubble has pictures of it taken in the visible light spectrum. Picture: https://cdn.esahubble.org/archives/images/large/heic0515a.jpg https://cdn.esahubble.org/archives/images/large/heic0515a.jp... If you look at the above picture closely, in the center of the nebula you can see some ripples. The star is just barely visible in the center of that. If you look at the JWST's much higher resolution (but admittedly infrared) image of the crab nebula, it's far easier to make out.

But if you want to be able to see it like you would the sun or the moon, that is probably a different story.
