Some of the early astronomers counted roughly 2000 stars. Of course, the number of stars one can sees varies during the course of the night. Stars set in the west and rise in the east. In the winter the night is longer, revealing more stars than in the summer. Then of course there is cloud cover. The full moon obliterates starlight--you can see many more stars when the moon is new.
Since the time of Thomas Edison, the sky has grown increasingly light. Most cities lack decent lighting ordinances, drowning out the heavens, so that only a few of the brightest stars can be seen. Light pollution competes with air pollution for drowning starlight. In some cities I can make out Sirius, Betelgeuse, some of the stars of Orion, and a few others. Terrible!
Where I live, the band of light that is the Milky Way is visible. This band conists of the light of millions and millions of stars. We cannot see all the stars in our galaxy, of course, or even pick out individual stars (visually) from the light of this band. But on a good dark night a person with good vision should be able to index roughly 2000 "naked eye" stars.
