Wait until the Pleiades transits. Get a lawn chair and blanket and commit an hour or two each observing session. Learn the positions of the Pleiades by studying star atlases. Just like you find the Andromeda Galaxy by finding the great square, then two over, then two up, know where to look in the Pleiades. Most star atlases that I have seen draw a fairly tight circle, about 1.5 degrees, around the Pleiades.
Any star inside is countable.
You can test your own unaided-eye resolution by looking at Epsilon Lyra. You should see two adjoining specks of light. If you see clear black inbetween, your resolution limit is closer to 1 arc minute, if you see the specs as an elongated star, you resolution limit is closer to 3 arc minutes. The average resolution is supposed to be 2 arc minutes, but I have found when asking people at star parties to tell me what they see, most of them do not see clear black inbetween, indeed many do not see an elongation. Break apart the Pleiades into regions.
