Yes - but I had no telescope with me as I was on 4x4 holiday in the Kimberleys and again a remote place in deserts areas of NT.
So how many visual stars (no telescope) can you count in the Plieades ?.... that's my measuring rod.
Best I can manage from my backyard is 10-12, under good skies 14-16.
Limit mag 7.5 would give 21.
Limit mag 7.8 would give 25.
Limit mag 6.5 would give 12.
See Guide V8 1degree centred on Pleiades.
