An excellent site at 14x, with many stars visible above and beyond the 6 main stars. There were several chains of stars, and I counted around 60 stars. although i am not sure if some of them were true members of the cluster. Near Alcyone there was 3 stars in what turned out to be a triangular asterism comprising SAU 76188, 76191, and 76192.
