No. Only by using ultradian rythm waves and the most advanced telescopes in the world is one able to tell how far a star is

Theres `Absolute Magnitude` which is the brightness of a star at a set distance. Then there is `Apparent Magnitude` which is the apparent brightness from earth, regardless of distance.

What is the best way to look for a star in the night sky?

This depends on what you're looking for. However, if you're trying to see it as it's viewed from earth, it would depend on the spectrum of the star and it's distance from earth.

What is the furthest star at a distance of 520 light years?

Any star at a distance of 520 light-years will be at the same distance as any other star at that distance. There is no known "furthest star"; the furthest known galaxies are at a distance of over 40 billion light-years. Galaxies are made up of stars.
