Number of stars within 150 light years of us?

[jerich1000]

I would like to know how many stars are within 150 light years of Earth. There must be a website somewhere that has the number, or perhaps a graph correlating distance with number of stars.

I've done some searching, but you folks are much smarter than I am.

Thanks

Approximately 5900 stars. Of which, ~840 are naked-eye visible under good viewing conditions.

Thanks!

Does the 5900 estimate allow for the increasing numbers of 'Black' and 'Brown' dwarf stars being found in our neighbourhood by infrared or Doppler surveys ?? I know the mass function is a bit tricky when 'T' types are so hard to find, yet apparently so plentiful...

5900 is probably on the low side, I think the actual figure is around 8500. Of course these numbers only reflect stars detectable using current technology.
