"Seven Sisters" through binoculars

Last night I went out, and what I saw was gorgeous. Sky amazes me every time I look at it. I didn't take my binoculars, but it didn't prevent me from enjoying the night and the sky. I saw a cluster of small stars overhead. I think it was the star cluster Pleiades, which is also called "Seven Sisters". On my opinion this is one of the finest and most famous in the heavens. If you look at it without astronomical binoculars, most likely you'll be able to see only about six stars. But with observation binoculars up to 80 stars can be counted!!!
If you look closely, you'll be able to find it too, good luck!

And enjoy the sky!
