How many stars[estimate] is in the constellation, Aquarius?

Aquarius is made up of 13 different astronomical bodies. I believe that 3 of the 13 are single star systems, whereas the other 10 points are actually made up of millions of far away stars (aka globular clusters). So, while we only see what appears to be 13 stars that make up Aquarius, there are literally millions, possibly billions, of stars making up that constellation.How many stars[estimate] is in the constellation, Aquarius?Of course there are many stars within the constellation, which can be seen in dark skies or with a telescope. But Aquarius has 13 major stars (ones that can be seen with the naked eye) that make up the constellation figure itself.How many stars[estimate] is in the constellation, Aquarius?89
