I took a print out from Stellarium and compared it to the sky at my viewing site. I marked off the dimmest stars that I could see taking note of the ones on the paper that I could not see.

The dimmest star I could see was about mag 3.5 so I consider the Naked Eye limit at my location to be mag 4.

You might try doing something like this at your location.
