Default Limits of Spectroscopy

What is the faintest "source" that can be spectroscopically analysed
via a telescope for fraunhofer lines and elemental composition?

I know bright galaxies and quasars produce ample quantities of light
for spectroscopy, but surely the multiple stellar make-up of these
objects produces meaningless 'noise' at that level...

Ta.
