I have been able to see 10 or 11 stars in the Pleiades on exceptionally clear nights, far from any city lights.
Even in moderate light pollution, it’s easy to spot if one knows where to look.
The Pleadies is one of my favorites, I love showing it to people at star parties, especially kids.
Subaru owners, check out the logo on your vehicles, it’s the Seven Sisters.
Subaru is the Japanese name.

Pleiades was the first star cluster I looked at when I got my telescope, a Newtonian reflector with a 5” mirror. It was TRANSFORMING !
